Description of Sampling Programme for Part of Fort Benning.
Abstract
This report describes the site to be studied, i.e. Fort Benning, from the SPOT image. This area is used for heavy artillery, tank and parachute training. Environmental protection is important and the sampling will aim to monitor the condition of this area. Our first task will be to design a scheme using only information from the pattern in the image for a 3m x 3m area; and for two smaller areas within this: an area with the Red Cockaded Woodpecker and one cleared for parachute training that is eroding heavily. The spatial scale and structure of the variation will be determined using the variogram, and the latter will be used in kriging the vegetation to produce a map. In addition we shall examine the effect of different spatial scales on the variogram and the consequences for sampling.
