The reference is to Science, which is a member only publication. Here’s the article reference for those who are AAAS members. (American Association for the Advancement of Science)http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/310/5747/480
I am aware of a company in the US that partnered with NASA for tools to identify specific species of trees via remote sensing. See: http://www.directionsmag.com/press.releases/index.php?duty=Show&id=5911 That company, Falcon Informatics, http://www.falconinformatics.com/ links to this brief on its NASA work: http://www.falconinformatics.com/Tree-Mendous.pdf
I’m not sure it’s the technology being referenced, but it sounds related.
Better reference suggests my comment above is not the right folks. See this article in Scientific American.

Falcon Informatics actually is the correct reference. We have done significant projects (5MM acres and up) and have investigted illegal logging in Indonesia with the resulting arrests caused by our weekly reconassiance.
If you wish to know more,
