Chesapeake Bay Vegetative Coverage

False color image showing the Estuarine and Palustrine Emergent vegetation types around the Chesapeake Bay for 1988/1989. This image was created by identifying land and vegetation types from Landsat Thematic Mapper images. The different catagories were then color coded and this false color image created. The identifying colors have been subdued except for emergent wetlands to accentuate these categories.
