Using satellite image classification and digital terrain modelling to assess forest species distribution on mountain slopes.A case study in Varatec Forest District
The relation between ecological conditions and geomorphological factors is considered the basis for species distribution in Romania. In this context, the location of each species within parts of the mountain slopes is difficult on a medium to brad scale level. The paper presents methodology to combine vegetation data, obtained from IKONOS satellite images, and Digital Elevation Model obtained from digitized topographic maps. The study area is a northern slope of the Stanisoarei Mountains with a gradient of species from beech mixed and coniferous stands.
