The application of 35mm false colour infrared photography to range management in Iceland.

35mm false colour infrared photographs of selected study areas in Iceland, taken in August 1982, have indicated this method to be fast and economic for data collection of limited areas of rapid changes. When compared with conventional panchromatic air photographs the 35mm photographs proved to give on average 16% more accurate results using a land cover classification of 11 categories. The greatest increases in accuracy were in the categories of sparsely vegetated land and denuded areas when improvements of 31% and 60% respectively were obtained. -from Author
