| Description | The author has identified the following significant results. Continued evaluation of autumnal phase and early vernal phase data indicate that the quality of ERTS-1 imagery over the Great Plains Corridor test sites are adequate to show relatively small temporal changes in the condition and quantity of vegetation at the several test sites. Vegetation changes measured from August through April are observable in reflectance changes recorded by ERTS-1. Vegetation changes due to grazing treatment and environmental conditions at the test sites are being monitored with ground data and ERTS-1 data, and appear adequate to complete all phases of the Great Plains Corridor investigation. NASA high flight aerial photography proved to be an indispensable tool for locating the Great Plains Corridor test sites on the computer derived grey maps of ERTS-1 digital data. |
