Assessment of forest biological diversity : a FAO training course. 1. Lecture notes

This training course was part of a French funded project implemented by the FAO in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam with the aim to "establishment / strengthening of country capacity in planning, assessment and systematic observations of forest resources in South-East Asian countries". It was attended by twelve South-East Asian forest officers involved in forest inventory operations, and an Indian forest officer. The documents contained in this folder are the revised versions of the lecture notes given to the participants : scaling diversity estimates (R.M. Krishnan); landscape analysis and vegetation mapping (G. Bourgeon); interpretation of satellite images for vegetation mapping (B.R. Ramesh); assessing species richness and diversity at the community level : methodological background (F. Houllier et al.); permanent plots as a means to monitoring forest dynamics and biodiversity (F. Houllier); indicators of the biological diversity of forests at the national level : comments on a French experience (F. Houllier); biodiversity assessment and stand structure : setting up of permanent or temporary plots, and parameters to be studied (C. Elouard and R.M. Krishnan)
