Monitoring of Forest and Forest Reserve Boundaries in Ghana Using Satellite (Landsat) Imagery
Abstract
The paper investigates a possible alternative technique for the monitoring of general forests and forest reserve characteristics as well as their boundaries. The investigation was broken down into two phases. The first phase dealt with the feasibility of using satellite imagery in delineating the boundaries of the forest stands. The second phase dealt with the determination of changes which have taken place within the forest stands using the satellite imagery and the possible reasons (causes) for these changes. Some practical ways aimed at minimizing the extent and occurrence of such changes are suggested.
