GIS aids in re-establishing plant species - GIS Certification At USC

Forestry is a complex field that analyzes conditions in wooded areas to determine how to best utilize land, preserve ecosystems or efficiently plan harvests. When poor forest management results in over-utilization, GIS aids in re-establishing plant species. Afforestation and tree species regeneration programs are most effective if foresters accurately determine what land plots will allow tree species to thrive. GIS technologies can map out important details like annual rainfall, minimum and maximum temperatures, the length and severity of the dry season and more.
