ABSTRACT:
Two-dimensional vegetation mapping have been widely adopted in the research and management of woodlands, grasslands, croplands and wetlands. With the rapid development of 3S (GIS, GPS and RS) techniques, the quality and precision of vegetation mapping have been significantly improved, while the time and labor consuming decreased markedly. However, both height dimension and time dimension were not concerned in such maps. Although contours, colors, symbols or thematic maping may be helpful, their applications are limited. An idea of multi-dimensional vegetation information system (MVIS) is proposed based on this background. It is composed of five components: GIS, DPM (Data Processing Module), DAM (Data Accessing Module), VAM (Vegetation Analysis Module) and IDM (Interactive Displaying Module). With a use-friendly visual interface, a powerful spatio-temporal data processing function and web-based databases, MVIS can be applied in spatial-temporal analysis of vegetation, virtual reality of 3D landscapes, vegetation-climate-terrain relationships and vegetation integrated management.
