An overview of the 10th Southern Forestry and Natural Resource Management GIS Conference

Pete Bettinger, Krista Merry

Abstract


With this brief summary, we provide an overview of the 10th Southern Forestry and Natural Resource Management GIS Conference (SOFOR GIS), and a Special Section of this journal related to it. The conference was held in Athens, Georgia (USA) on December 7-8, 2015 at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education. Several papers from this conference were submitted for the publication in the journal; and some are still undergoing peer review. We anticipate that future issues of Mathematical and Computational Forestry & Natural-Resource Sciences will include other papers from the conference, while this Special Section contains the first two articles of the collection that already have passed the peer review process.

Keywords
