Analysis of digitized aerial photographs taken in 1941 and 1994, using image processing and geographical information system technology, enabled the quantification of change in the coverage of forest and grassland patches that occur within a Eucalyptus savanna matrix in a subcoastal region of the Australian monsoon tropics. The 3058 ha study area was orientated along a low escarpment that separated a sandstone plateau from lowlands that comprised 58% and 42% of the area, respectively.- AbstractMade available by the Northern Territory Library via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).Abstract -- Introduction -- Study area -- Methods -- Results -- Discussion -- Acknowledgements -- ReferencesResearch articl
