“HIGHLIGHTS:
• [They] evaluated the impacts of topographic correction on forest mapping in the mountains.
• The enhanced C-correction and the physical model reduced topographic effects.
• The corrected Landsat imagery time series resulted in higher accuracy.
• Terrain information improved classification but not as much as topographic correction.
• [They] recommend using topographic correction for forest cover mapping..."
