Abstract

Monitoring of large scale deforestation in miombo woodland is possible with Landsat Multispectral Scanner System (MSS) data. It is possible to assess conversion of miombo woodland into cleared and regrowth areas after the first year of fallow. By change detection, this result adds to the understanding of the deforestation versus regrowth rate, as well as degradation of virgin miombo woodland when exposed to intensive agricultural use.
