摘要: This paper reports on research to evaluate the potential of Original Texas Land Survey (OTLS) generate information that can be used quantitatively map historical vegetation cover and analyse pertinent aspects ecology. Research was conducted in Brazos County east-central Texas. OTLS data are easy acquire convert geo-referenced autecological information. Reconstructing mapping land cover, conducting vegetation- species-site analyses with soil-ecological maps, reconstructing assemblages forest structure easily accomplished. Due irregular surveying framework by OTLS, gradational grassland-savannah ecotone boundaries is impracticable.
