Summary:	One of our challenges is the preservation and remediation of ecosystem integrity. Remotely sensed imagery plays a crucial role by its ability to monitor large spatially continuous areas. This book presents a method for assessing spatial pattern in raster land cover maps based on satellite imagery incorporating multiple pixel resolutions.
