Integrated inventories are becoming commonplace. The Bureau of Land Management, for example, has been developing multiple resource inventories over the last two or three years.
The purpose of this bibliography is to provide a comprehensive listing of publications from the biological sciences fields dealing with multi-resource, multiple use, multi-produce and multi-variant inventory techniques as they relate to natural resource management. Some related publications from the business field are also included. In addition,some standard background publications on inventory and land use planning are given.
This bibliography generally covers the period from 1970 thru 1978, although some earlier and later documents are listed. Over 530 citations are provided. The abstracts generally come directly from the source documents or from Dissertation Abstracts in the case of the theses. Listings containing no annotations were not available to the authors at the time of compilation.
The publications are listed alphabetically by the author's last name. The citations are also numbered and keyed to a subject index. Subject groupings include Policy, Philosophies, Land Use Planning, Information Requirements, Land and Vegetation Classification Systems, Remote Sensing, Mapping Systems, Automated Mapping Systems, Statistical Aspects, Design Processing Systems, Information Systems, Resource Allocation and Modeling, Regional Analysis and Case Studies, and Reference Material including Proceedings, Bibliographies and Dictionaries.
