Environment is constantly changing as a function of climate and more recently due to human activities. Timely and accurate monitoring of these changes is a difficult task for regional planning and management. Up-to-date information on distribution and rate of changes of any ecosystem are required for a wide variety of applications viz., biomestatus, environmental, climatic, etc. Aerospace technology has been found to be a vital tool for assessment and monitoring of these natural resources. The present study focuses on the potential of IRS 1C WiFS data set for the regional level mapping. The temporal resolution along with the recommended spatial and spectral resolution configures for the assessment of the phenological growth of the vegetation in the terrestrial ecosystems. The utilization of the climatic data along with the biogeographic map is proposed to delineate the biomass in the western Indian subcontinent. The product offers the basic input for the eco-physiological processes for studying the land surface interactions and conservation strategies of the arid regions.
