Abstract: Forest type classification using Landsat TM False Color Composite (FCC) bands 2,3,4 has been evaluated for mapping high heterogeneous forest environment of Western Ghats (Kerala).Visual interpretation of Landsat TMFCC has been carried out to identify bioclimatic vegetation types .For comparison, aerial photomap classes have been aggregated to match with Landsat TM derived map. The overall classification accuracy of the forest study area was 88.36 percent.
