A forest cover map of insular Southeast Asia has been produced at a scale of 1: 5 500 000 based on SPOT4-Vegetation satellite data of low spatial resolution. The map highlights the spatial distribution and extent of tropical forest cover in insular Southeast Asia at the beginning of the new millennium. Thematic classes as well as spatial accuracy reflect the possibilities and limitations of vegetation classification from coarse resolution satellite images, permitting a general overview on forest cover at the sub-regional level.
