*BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP? /Vegetation Spectral Information 
Sought/ - *Mounir Louhaichi writes, "I am looking for references that 
explain the limitation of spectral similarities between forest species 
hindering attainment of high classification accuracy". Mounir also 
writes "I looking for information that can explain best band combination 
when using hyperspectral data relating to vegetation communities". If 
you have information to share please contact Mounir at 
Mounir.Louhaichi at OREGONSTATE.EDU <mailto:Mounir.Louhaichi at OREGONSTATE.EDU>

*EFFECTS OF STEEP SLOPE LOGGING*.- Last month Cristina Hubbard wrote, 
"At one point in time, I had an article or report on the effects of 
steep slope logging, but it seems to lost in the depths of my computer. 
Does anyone have access to data on this?" Here are some sites that may 
be of interest. If you know of others, please contact Cristina at
