Abstract :
Forest parameters are mapped using decision trees and Landsat ETM+ data. Reference data consist of forest stand registrations. The mapped parameters are tree species, age groups, wood volume per hectare and productivity classes. Accuracy assessment is carried out using national forest inventory data. The study area for the project is Ostfold County in South Norway.
