Popis:	Digital map products are routinely used by land managers and policy makers for environmental decision-making. This paper assesses the ability of such products to detect woody vegetation, particularly remnant patches which serve as critical landscape structures. Comparisons are made between two map products (NCAS and a SPOT-based classification) and a high spatial resolution reference dataset, across contrasting landscapes. Spatial analysis and statistical association tests are used to determine the ability of these map products to produce accurate measurements of woody vegetation. It is demonstrated that landscape structure is fundamental in determining the fitness-for-use and function of the digital map products.
