Temporal Landsat MSS data hr or a single image area is being used to develop a satellite- imagebased rangeland vegetation cover monitoring system. This system will expand the current ground-based Rangeland Assessment Program (RAP) to provide a spatially complete picture of vegetation cover. The data from the RAP sites are being used to statistically verify the developed vegetation indices. Subjective assessment of albedo- derived cover maps revealed some promising results.
