一、Introduction for remote sensing forest application
Remote sensing forest application is consisting of several terms: in terms of safeguarding national security, it is the monitoring and evaluation of ecological security and ecological red line; In terms of national global interest maintenance, it is the global forest (timber) resources investigation and monitoring; In terms of national strategic planning, those are: Resource environment monitoring and evaluation in the “One Belt One Road” region; Resource environment monitoring and evaluation in the “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei” region; Monitoring and evaluation of sand prevention and control in the “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei” region; Monitoring and evaluation of resources and environment along the Yangtze river economic belt; Forest tourism and forestry planting targeted poverty alleviation. In terms of national comprehensive disaster prevention and disaster relief, those are: Monitoring and assessment of biological hazards (forest fires and forest pests and diseases); Monitoring and assessment of health outbreaks (avian influenza, migratory bird outbreaks); Early warning and assessment of desertification and land degradation; In terms of resource investigation and monitoring, those are Forest resources investigation and monitoring, wetland resource investigation and monitoring and glacier resource survey and monitoring; In terms of Environmental monitoring and evaluation it is the Ecological environment monitoring and evaluation; In terms of the urban fine management those are urban afforestation and management and forest city planning; In terms of the law enforcement supervision it is forestry law enforcement(the illegal construction of lumber, encroachment on forestry land, nature reserves and national parks); In terms of infrastructure and major engineering monitoring it is the major forestry projects monitoring; In terms of earth system research, it is the scientific research on earth surface systems(Forest vegetation, wetland, desertification and biodiversity).

Before the engineering: forest
(grass) resource inventory and database building |
|
Forest (grass) ecological
environmental protection indicators survey; during the engineering |
|
|
Forest (grass) resource
