3D-REPRESENTATION OF TREELINES ON TEMPERATURE SURFACES

For a better understanding of these transformations, the cartographic model can be displayed in a new window.

After reclassifying the treeline image to make it fit for OVERLAY, the treeline can be seen superimposed on the temperature surface:

The STRETCH Linear transformation create scaled byte values:

CONCLUSION:

Study area 82 experiences much colder temperatures in the winter than does study area 92. However, this does not affect the altitude of the treeline: it is primarily influenced by summer temperatures, which are similar at both study areas.
