Application of remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) techniques has been
increased in natural sciences. In fact, it is inevitable applying of these techniques in vegetation studies
due to the existence of some problems in traditional methods (e.g. sampling, calculation, analysis and so
on). On this scope, scientists must have sufficient information about the efficiency of these techniques as
a useful tool in their studies. This study aims to evaluate the IRS-P6 LISS III and Landsat ETM+ efficiency
in plant groups’ identification. In order to this purpose, 143 training samples were collected from areas that
showed homogenous composition of plant species in at least area of 3600 m2 (60 60 m). Coordinates of
these training samples were recorded using a GPS device and transferred to a GIS database. Also, ENVI 4.2
package has used to process and analyze the satellites data. Several methods of processing such as; spectral
