摘要
The optimal and efficient management of forest resources call for reliable technologies with a provision to store, update, retrieve and analyse data. Towards this, tools like Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) have been used for decision making and to derive meaningful outputs for plant resources conservation and management. The potential application of GIS is illustrated through various case studies ranging from development of Forest Resources Information System at divisional level to micro-level planning in Joint Forest Management areas. The studies related to plant diversity prospecting, inputs for forest working plans, etc. have also been discussed in the paper.
