Summary:
"Maintenance of a database on the historic, present, and future conditions of biosphere reserves is one way in which original material may be made available to all interested researchers for a given area, such as a biosphere reserve. Photographs and images of biosphere reserves taken from spacecraft and aircraft provide a significant database showing both broad views and trends in forest cover, water area, and other diagnostic landscape features. ... Computer listings of data are provided by the EROS Data Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which contains in its archives all of the listed material in photographic form and, in the case of Landsat images, can make available computer-compatible magnetic tapes of any Landsat scene. At the time this report was prepared, there were 28 designated Biosphere Reserves in the United States. Reports similar to this one are available from each of the Reserves"--P. [1].
