Fig. 4: General technological course to integrate habitat vitality into GIS
Those landscape features which are of considerable
importance for the vegetation state cover like habitat type.
soil type and the existence of cohesive formation in the
upper metres of the sediments were transformed into raster
'ard to the
images which then can be intersected wit
NDVI values. In the last step they were re-transformed into
a vector graphic layer representing areas of equal NDVI
levels and attached basic landscape information.
An example of the graphic realisation of the GIS content is
represented in Fig. 5. It shows that every point of the
vegetation state layer with the NDVI level contains all the
information about main site conditions with spatial
dimension. Special links exist between the key number of
the habitat concerned and specific habitat information like
species features or protection assessment and vegetation
state information.
