over the past years, lake water levels have decreased considerably by various factors and the subsequent emergence of salt plain has brought disastrous consequences that need an essential action. therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of drying up and increasing lake water salt and landsat satellite images were used during different time periods in 9 years. to identify the new a...

forest classification on the basis of satellite images is a promising technique both for primary map production and for map updating and forest monitoring. for accurate for-est classification into three classes, using mapping by canopy cover density “high spatial resolution satellite images have to be used in order to obtain the required spatial detail” [schneider, 1999]. at the same time, the ...
