Abstract: Forest is the largest land-based ecosystems.It's an important vegetation type on the Earth's surface.Forest plays an irreplaceable role in the maintenance of the global ecological balance.The change of forest cover not only includes the meaning that forest changes to other class,but also includes the change from one forest species to other forest species.It's very useful to duly and accurately gain forest cover change information for carbon source estimation and sustainable management of forest resources.In this paper,the study progress of forest cover change detection methods have been summarized by reviewing on the use of remote sensing technique in the field of land cover/use and forest type identification and forest mapping.At the same time,the study trend of forest cover change monitoring by using remote sensing technique have been presented.

Key words: forest cover, change detection, remote sensing
