Increasing demands on the accuracy and thematic resolution of vegetation community maps from remote sensing imagery has created a need for novel image analysis techniques. We present a case study for vegetation mapping of the Lake Tahoe Basin which fulfills many of the requirements of the Federal Geographic Data Committee base-level mapping (FGDC, 1997) by using hyperspatial Ikonos imagery anal...

Paleobotanists have long built leaf climate models based on site mean of physiognomic characteristics woody dicotyledons species (WDS) for estimating past climate. To explore the potential order Ericales in paleoclimate, we developed two linear each climatic factor. One is WDS, and other both WDS characters (WDS-E). We found that, compared with models, WDS-E improved greatly annual precipitatio...
