Remote sensing <strong>tech</strong>nologies<br />
provide several benefits. They<br />
support the collection of spatially<br />
comprehensive <strong>dat</strong>asets that are<br />
not otherwise readily available. In<br />
addition, the collection of <strong>dat</strong>a from<br />
a satellite or aircraft is nonintrusive,<br />
a very valuable feature for assessing<br />
ecologically and culturally sensitive<br />
areas. Semiautomated <strong>dat</strong>a<br />
processing of remotely sensed<br />
images can be a cost-effective<br />
way to reliably detect and identify<br />
features and quantify parameters<br />
over large areas more frequently.<br />
This feature is desirable for<br />
monitoring spatially heterogeneous<br />
and temporally dynamic arid and<br />
semiarid environments. Historic<br />
archives of remotely sensed <strong>dat</strong>a<br />
permit retrospective assessments<br />
and are thus suitable for long-term<br />
monitoring (Washington-Allen et al.<br />
2006).<br />
