Differentiating elements of the soil-vegetation complex

Abstract

The application of remote sensing to study soil-vegetation systems requires quantification and precise location of ground observation data such that they can be correlated with multispectral aerial acquired data. Griddling and sampling of an area for exact identification in a known address on magnetic tape containing multispectral scanner data produces quantitative physico-chemical parameters and the energy which is radiating from within the soil-vegetation complex of an area. Example classifications and spectral mappings of soils made from multispectral scanner data are included.
