Detection of vegetation degradation on Swedish mountainous heaths at an early stage by image interpretation

Article Abstract:

Mountainous vegetation in general is sensitive as it has low resilience and low productivity. They are sensitive to mechanical damage, and quick detection methods have been devised with a high degree of accuracy.
