Abstract
This paper reviews the current capability of digital remote sensing technology to satisfy the information requirements of forest managers. The discussion is organized with regard.to forest management information requirements rather than along technological lines. The promise of new airborne technologies to provide more detailed information is also discussed in the context of the information requirements, together with examples of encouraging results.Keywords
