*REDD+ MONITORING AND ASSESSMENTS (Part 3 of 3) /-/*I April I wrote, /"I 
am doing a little study on what the various countries are doing for 
REDD+ monitoring and assessment for multiple benefits. If you have some 
information to share, please send to me."/ Here are some sites that may

*SOME OTHER PUBLICATIONS/URLS OF INTEREST*

*Geodetic Toolkit Conversion Tools*- Smart web-based tools for some 
coordination conversion routines. The State Plane Coordinate system 
provides coordinates on a flat grid for easy computation while 
maintaining a difference between geodetic and grid distance of one part 
in 10,000 or better. The utilities in this package provide methods for 
converting between Geodetic Positions and State Plane Coordinates This 
tool is available as a downloadable Free PC Software. See:

<http://home.comcast.net/%7Egyde/1979iibiblio.part2of2.pdf>I just posted 
this publication to the web.The purpose of this bibliography is to 
provide a comprehensive listing of publications from the biological 
sciences fields dealing with multiresource, multiple use, multi-produce 
and multi-variant inventory techniques as they relate to natural 
resource management. Some publications from the business field are also 
included. In addition, some basic background publications on inventory 
and land use planning are given. This bibliography generally covers the 
period from 1970 thru 1979, although some earlier and later documents 
are listed. Over 530 citations are provided. Even though the citations 
may be old, they include many practical and applicable articles that 
cannot be found on the Internet and are still useful today.
