Abstract The relationship between canopy cover and spectral characteristics of the corresponding areas was studied in a semi-arid savannah environment in Kordofan, The Sudan. The canopy cover was measured in 32 test plots through air photo interpretation. Achieved values were correlated with multitemporal Landsat MSS raw data and manipulated data. The highest correlation coefficients in general were obtained between crown cover and spectral data recorded during the dry season. The inverse relationship between amount of woody vegetation and nIR reflectance (MSS 6, MSS 7) was striking. This implied that other factors than a healthy foliage characterized the spectral responses. Destructive measurements of woody biomass were carried out to establish a relationship between woody wet weight and crown diameter for future biomass studies.
