TY - JOUR T1 - Computer-Assisted Program for Forest Preservation/Conservation/Restoration: Upper Midwest Region JF - Landscape Journal SP - 45 LP - 60 DO - 10.3368/lj.3.1.45 VL - 3 IS - 1 AU - Gary L. Hightshoe Y1 - 1984/03/20 UR - http://lj.uwpress.org/content/3/1/45.abstract N2 - The natural forest vegetation of the Upper Midwest region represents only a small percentage of the entire landscape cover. Development pressures continue to dilute and reduce this forest heritage. Computer-assisted analytical techniques with graphic display capabilities can describe, classify, and delineate existing/potential forest resources. Vegetation information enables resource analysts, planners, and managers to make critical value judgments, to qualify rankings, and to make other interpretations regarding suitability for forest preservation, conservation, restoration, or utilization.
