Description:
To determine if the information content of the imagery is sufficient to permit mapping according to the Unesco classification, a series of test sites were examined. These sites include examples from the humid tropics, arid, and semi-arid subtropics and temperature zones. In every case, the feasibility of this application of LANDSAT imagery was verified. The agricultural significance of several sites is discussed to indicate how the vegetation maps may be interpreted for agricultural evaluation.
