statistical calculations carried out on each pixel of an image. Although remote-sensing techniques hold great promise for extending our understanding of biodiversity to a global level, scientists using satellite data to identify forests and other vegetation only now are able to reliably achieve the level of detail necessary for biodiversity studies. Interpretation of vegetation is complicated by seasonal variations, environmental factors, and health of the vegetation. Transitional zones and climatic gradients make
