Monitoring changes

Figure 7 shows an example of detected change on the cadastral level (surface area 2.3 ha.), a strong difference between the legal vegetation map and the current classification is shown by the red colors. In the legal map this plot is supposed to consist mainly of water, with some rough vegetation around the edges. Due to the natural process of vegetation development and a recent series of dry summers the pond has dried up and is overgrown with rough vegetation, consisting of a multitude of classes. The easy recognition of the red colors on the map, joint with the time series analysis and the information on the cadastral plot aids the dialogue with the landowner to clear the area.
