physiological factors have effects on most forest parameters such as forest classification so that understanding knowledge about this subject is important to manage forests. the forests of sorkhake-sanjabi village with area of 1645 ha located in eslam abad city, kermanshah province, iran were selected. 23 sample plots with rectangular shape (40m*50m) were selected and the species, origin of spe...

land use change may influence many natural phenomena and ecological processes, including runoff, soil erosion, sedimentation and soil conditions. decreasing of forest area in the north of iran is one of the critical problems in recent years. the aims of this study are to detect land use changes between 1967 to 2002 using satellite images of land sat 7 etm+ (2002), aerial photos and digital topo...

in order to capability investigation on landsat-7 satellite etm+ data in separability forest type and mapping in the zagros region, a small window digital data dating july 2001 from ghalajeh forests in the kermanshah province were analyzed. ground data were provided the cluster sampling method and with 0.36 ha. no radiometric error was found then the quality investigations. orthorectification w...

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 ...
