Zusammenfassung:Remotely sensed images taken with both aircraft and satellite-borne sensors have been analysed to estimate the percentage cover of the vegetative types in the Balquhidder catchments. Detailed ground surveys have been carried out to provide ‘ground truth’ training areas for the image classifications. Good agreement was obtained between the extents of different vegetation cover as given by the ground survey and analysis of the images. The value of remotely sensed images for vegetation classification for water balance, and other purposes, in difficult terrain is demonstrated.
