[HOT] Use cases, documentation and methodology around the use of OSM and GIS in Forestry

[Lillian Pierson]

HI Nicolas,

I am putting together a paper that covers this now... it has to do with 
statistical (spatial) point pattern analysis and using that to uncover 
habitat interactions for forestry. If you are interested, I can send you a 
link to the paper when I get through.
