Digital SPOT image processing, combined with conventional panchromatic black and white air photo interpretation and field observations, is used to survey and map geomorphological phenomena and land degradation by savannization in the Lubumbashi area (Shaba, Zaire), a typical wet-and-dry tropical forested environment. The digital treatment includes LAI and biomass calculations, box classification, mask techniques, and image stretching.
