Experience of electronic mapping of forest plantations of the western municipal regions of the Saratov region

A technique for mapping and basic geoinformation analysis of forest plantations using Earth remote sensing data of high spatial resolution is described. An overview map of forest plantations has been compiled, and forest plantations have been classified into natural and artificial, as well as young stands and shrubs. The obtained data for three districts of the western part of the Saratov region were compared with the forest plan.
