Md. Breido et Vi. Sukhikh, USE OF SPACE IMAGERY TO RECORD GEOGRAPHICAL CHANGES IN THE RUSSIAN BOREAL FORESTS RESULTING FROM CONTINUOUS FELLING, Earth observation and remote sensing, 13(4), 1996, pp. 617-630
The possible use of satellite imagery to detect and map boundaries of
clearings and to identify forest areas which have been cleared is inve
stigated. The recording technique is studied and areas of continuous f
elling are estimated from space images. Comparative results of the map
ping of continuous felling obtained using data from the AFA, KFA-1000
and 'SPOT' HVR are given.
