The vegetation in the S Greenland valley Qingua-dalen, containing the best developed, subarctic birch "forest" has been mapped by two different methods. The one combined the use of false infrared air photos with ground truthing, resulting in the map Fig. 5. Besides, a description of the woodland with analyses of the forest floor vegetation is given. The second method includes the use of data recorded by the Multi Spectral Scanner onboard the Landsat satellite. Finally advantages and disadvantages of the two methods are discussed.
