Bryant, E., A.G. Dodge, Jr., and S. Warren, 1980: Landsat for practical forest type mapping: A test case. Photogramm. Eng. Remote Sens., 46, 1575-1584.

In a cooperative project, computer classified Landsat maps were compared with a recent inventory of forest lands in northern Maine. Over the 196,000 hectare (485,000 acre) area mapped, estimates of area of softwood, mixed wood, and hardwood forest types by the two methods agreed to within 5 percent. Cost of the Landsat maps is estimated at 6.5 cents per hectare (2.6 cents per acre). Although the information derived from Landsat is not yet refined enough to be incorporated in current forest inventories, the techniques used are worth developing.
