Abstract

A method of automated classification and mapping based on a spatial analysis of a digital elevation model (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM 90m), Landsat 5-TM imagery, and ground data was applied to classify and map forest site conditions and vegetation on a test site. The vector maps obtained reflected the test site potential environmental conditions, forest types, and regenerating vegetation age stages.
