100 The cited drawbacks are also paths towards the possible development of the method. In continuation of the forest mapping project the improved forest border map will enable a more focused classification of the forest types, based on the deciduous / broadleaved ratio, age and canopy cover. We expect the forest border map of Slovenia - when completed - to find applications also outside the forestry information system. Since the presented method enables a reasonably precise, country wide and up-to-date identification of the true forest cover as opposed to the often outdated cadastral situation, one of the first applications would be to determine the actual forest area and map the loss of farmland in the last decades due to spontaneous afforestation. Additionally, the presented method could provide an inexpensive means to monitor the forest cover changes, giving the policy makers in physical and social planning a useful tool to verify past decisions and plan efficient new actions. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study is part of the project "Development of Multifunctional Forestry Information System", financed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Food of Slovenia and by the Ministry of Science and Technology of Slovenia. We are also grateful to Gal Kusar, who photointerpreted the aerial imagery. REFFERENCES Breiman, L., J.H. Friedman, R.A. Olshen, C.J. Stone, 1984. Classification and Regression Trees.
