• Abstract:
  • Conifer stands in Petersham were delineated using 1991 color infrared aerial photographs (leaves-off, 1:40,000 scale). Delineated stands are visited in order to determine forest cover types and to record observations on vegetation composition and historical disturbances (e.g. 1938 damage, prior land use, etc.). These data will be digitized in a vector format and then analyzed spatially using a geographic information system.
