Abstract: | Karbi Anglong and North Cachar Hills districts of Assam are endowed with rich and diverse vegetation resources. Increased human pressure due to shifting cultivation and raw material extraction for industrial purposes are heavily altering the forested landscape. The present study deals with mapping of forest types in the two districts using LANDSAT-MSS digital data. The maps thus generated provide spatial distribution of bioclimatic vegetation types. Supervised maximum likelihood classification has been performed using training sets collected during field work. The spectral behaviour of vegetation types have been studied for optimising classification scheme. The classification accuracy of classes mapped has been calculated. |
