Computer Mapping in Phenological Analysis

  • Chapter
Phenology and Seasonality Modeling

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 8))

Abstract

The development of computer methods for mapping basic geographical information provides a much needed tool for phenological analysis. In the past, phenological maps have been drawn by hand which can be both time consuming and dependent on the subjective interpretation by the analyst. The speed and complete objectivity in future analyses of phenological data through computer mapping should make it possible to convert quickly great quantities of phenological data into map form which can then be used in many decision-making processes.
