  Vegetation Analysis in Kumaun Himalaya using Remote Sensing

  By N.K. Sharma, A. K. Tiwari

  Abstract: Vegetation and land use of Kumaun Himalaya was analyzed using remote sensing data. A total of 15 vegetation and land use classes were mapped, of which, eight vegetation types and seven land use categories were identified. Utilizing the knowledge of altitude bound distribution of vegetation digital elevation model (DEM) was used for the post-classification refinements.
