Hello Ecolog – My colleagues and I are studying the reforestation of a reclaimed landfill - from essentially bare-ground to a reasonably dense forest from 1991 to present. I am interested in quantifying changes in percent canopy cover over time using GoogleEarth images. Their archived images include good–resolution growing season photos taken in 1995, 2001, 2005, 2007, and 2010. Does anyone have suggestions as to how to quantify canopy coverage in each photo?
Many thanks! -Jeff ________________________________ ************************************ Jeffrey D.
