  The relation between ecological conditions and geomorphological factors is
considered the basis for species distribution in Romania. In this context, the
location of each species within parts of the mountain slopes is difficult on a
medium to brad scale level. The paper presents methodology to combine
vegetation data, obtained from IKONOS satellite images, and Digital Elevation
Model obtained from digitized topographic maps. The study area is a northern
slope of the Stanisoarei Mountains with a gradient of species from beech mixed
and coniferous stands.
