Vegetation and forest types: 
Savanna: dense shrub with grass, smooth texture on SLAR. 
The savanna is darker toned on the near range strip than on the far range 
strip, but the differences are not consistent; of the very dark toned patches 
on the near range strip some are darker toned and some are lighter toned on 
the far range strip. The assumption that these dark toned patches are a 
burning pattern cannot be proven. Utilising far and near range strips in a 
SLAR mosaic can give problems in the interpretation of savannas. 
Gallary Forest: low forest along the streamlets in the savanna area. 
On both SLAR strips a heterogeneous pattern of the vegetation occurs; 
The differentiations are clearer on near range by tonal differences with 
savanna and on far range by changes in vegetation height (thin white and dark 
lines). 
Shifting cultivation and secondary forest 
Characteristic are the straight line configuration and the abrupt change 
in height with the surrounding high vegetation. More difficult is the tone which 
is darker for recently cultivated plots and lighter for low secondary 
forest. The latter is difficult to differentiate from adjacent savanna 
vegetation, Shifting cultivation in high forest is better visible in the 
far range strip. Small plots in the streamlet forest give a "mottled" 
texture, 
Shrub—, creeper, low— high and Mahogany forest 
The texture on SLAR for these forest types is nearly the same, but with a 
slightly smoother aspect for the shrub- and creeper forest. Tonal differences 
are slight. In the near range the presence of lighter and darker toned 
bands, parallel to the flightline, are a disturbing feature for the 
interpretation of these types. 
The settlers prefer high forest to creeper or shrub forest. Therefore 
shifting cultivation can give an indirect indication of the presence of 
one of the forest types mentioned above: 
no shifting cultivation — shrub-, creeper forest 
Some shifting cultivation — low forest and forest with creepers 
more shifting cultivation _ high forest 
The mahogany bearing forest, of which a patch is present in the left corner 
outside the area of stereoscopical vision, cannot be delineated, neither by 
tone, nor by texture, from the other forest types. In this patch shifting 
cultivation is present.
