Natural resource
management issues continue to increase in complexity as more
conflicting pressures are placed on the use of resources.
Consequently, the need for analysis of a variety of management
alternatives has increased. The biological interrelationships
involved in natural ecosystems require very complex modeling and
clear, concise presentation of the outputs of the models for
decision making.
| GIS can
provide the opportunity to conduct these models and
produce visual outputs within the framework of spatial
juxtaposition. Many biological relationships are
dependent on relative spatial arrangement Proximity to
water, position on slope, upstream or down stream,
adjacency of microclimates and ecotones, all bear
heavily on ecosystem health and perpetuation. |
