Central Atlantic Regional Ecological Test Site: A Prototype Regional Environmental Information System. Volume 1. Central Atlantic Regional Ecological Test Site (CARETS) Project

摘要

The author has identified the following significant results. LANDSAT data showed the test region in 1972 to be 9% urban and built-up land, 38% agriculture, 50% forest, 3% nonforested wetlands, and less than 1% barren land, exclusive of water-covered areas. A comprehensive user evaluation revealed greatest demand for high-altitude aerial photography and the detailed maps and data products that can be derived from the Metropolitan area agencies found relatively little use for LANDSAT imagery at 1:250,000 scale and corresponding manually interpreted land use maps.
