Abstract / Description
These technical procedures serve as a reference for conducting the image analysis work normally
associated with mapping riparian and associated habitats. This document is intended to be
comprehensive, however situations may develop that require modifications or additions.
It is impractical to include all of the technical aspects of data handling and analysis within this
document or anticipate all resource inventory needs. Users are advised that other written
conventions or formal training may be useful in recognizing and describing riparian habitats,
image interpretation and/or mapping protocols. More detailed field guides, regional information,
plant lists and soils descriptions are also available.
This information is intended to provide general guidelines for work performance, but should not
be substituted for direct communication with the appropriate Program, Project or Technical
Specialist(s) regarding procedural questions.
