Description

The aim of the project summarized in this report was to determine the feasibility of detecting change in surface water levels and associated wetland biomass at the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge. This study sought to assess the potential for using Landsat thematic mapper TM imagery for detecting change in water levels and biomass at the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge wetlands. It was shown that water level change can be quantitatively determined with great accuracy. Changes in biomass are more gradational than water level change but qualitative and spatial change can easily be shown. This study observed change over approximately four months or the changes from summer to fall.
