Abstract
Abstract Remotely sensed data from satellite and aerial platforms have already established their use for survey and monitoring of forest resources. This study was prompted by the availability of MKF‐6M photographs from Salyut‐7 Mission providing an opportunity to evaluate its capability and compare it with Landsat multispectral scanner data in forest type delineation and mapping. It was possible to differentiate and map evergreen, semievergreen, moist and dry deciduous, degraded forest and scrub vegetation using both black and white and false colour photographs of MKF‐6M data and false colour composite of Landsat MSS data. The merits and demerits of both the types of data products for forestry studies have been discussed in this paper.
