This study had two objectives: first, to generate a landcover map for the Charles M. Russell Wildlife Refuge (CMR) emphasizing the distribution of land cover types in relation to greater sage grouse (
Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat needs, and second, to provide data that would allow a determination of whether results were better with SPOT imagery or Landsat 8 imagery. SPOT imagery is provided at a 10m pixel resolution, while Landsat 8 is at 30m. Results from this classification will allow managers to determine which resolution provides the accuracy needed for habitat planning and management.
