摘要：This is a research paper which investigated the availability of Landsatdata for forest type classification,timber volume estimation, yearly growthestimation and deforested area monitoring. Two test areas, one is about15 km by 15 km and the other about 30 km by 25 km, were selected as studyareas. A forest area extending in the west and south slope of Mt. Fuji,there being wide artificial plantations and ground truth data of their timbervolumes and yearly growths being available, is used for the evaluationof timber volume and yearly growth estimation by Landsat data. As for thestudy of deforested areas monitoring, another test area where proper aerialphotographies for its evaluation were available is selected.The forest type of the test area can be classified into three ageclasses(young, middle, old) of cedar and cypress, broad-leaved trees andneedle-leaved trees in a high mountain area such as fir or spruce using twotemporal overlapped Landsat data of May and December. Landsat data about 16points in the artificial cypress plantations where timber volume and yearlygrowth data were examined on the ground were taken and using those paireddata of Landsat data and timber volume or yearly growth, regression analysiswere made. Landsat MSS Band 5 shows highest and negative correlation withtimber volume and yearly growth, and multiple correlation coefficient wasabout 0.8 for timber volume and about 0. 7 for yearly growth.
