Statewide Landcover and Trees Study Queensland series

The statewide landcover and trees survey (SLATS) has been analysing and reporting on change (loss) of woody vegetation since 1988 using Landsat imagery. The vegetation change has been attributed to change classes representing what the replacement land cover is or if the vegetation change was due to natural causes.全州土地覆盖与林木调查（Statewide Landcover and Trees Survey，简称SLATS）自1988年起便依托陆地卫星（Landsat）影像，对木本植被的变化（减少）情况开展分析并发布相关监测报告。该调查将植被变化划分为不同的变化类别，这些类别既体现了替代后的土地覆盖类型，也说明了植被变化是否由自然因素引发。
