'In this chapter, we present several concepts that are useful for defining, mapping, and managing ecosystems, and offer a brief prospectus of the use of remote sensing and GIS technoLogy in support of these activities. The topics presented here include (1) multiple factors, hierarchical structures and ecosystems, (2) spatial and temporal variabiliry, (3) ecosystem classification and mapping, (4) effects of scale on attributes of change, and (5) ecosystem management.
