Abstract


Remote sensing technique can be better utilised for identifying different types of forest cover in a tropical forest eco-system. Four major forest types and one type of grassland vegetation were identified on satellite imageries. By using aerial photographs, 11 forest types and 4 types of grasslands were identified from the same study area. By integrating the interpreted information of aerial photographs and satellite imageries, it was possible to identify different types of forest and their areal extent by converting the information into a two dimensional forest cover map
