AbstractA study was performed with the objective of observing differences between the photointerpretation and the field vegetation mapping procedure.... Differences in detail of delineating vegetation units were also found between the two mapping procedures. The field method showed more generalized mapping while the photointerpretation method showed more detailed mapping of boundaries between vegetation units.
