Classification system devised for mapping vegetation and surficial geology from 1:60,000 scale false colour infrared photographs; 1:50 000 base maps plus a vegetation and a surficial geology overlay
Resource
Ground surveys of vegetation and surficial geology generally confirmed that the classification systems used in the mapping accurately described and defined the ecological habitat features
