Table 1. Land covers represented by spectral clusters identified in June and September 1992 thematic mapper imagery of Ash Meadows area, Nevada

Cluster number¹	Description of land cover
0	Area of no substantial ground-water evapotranspiration (unclassified)
1	Area dominated by submerged aquatic vegetation and open-water marsh; water above land surface
2	Area dominated by dense vegetation; forest or grass/shrub meadows; water table below land surface; soils moist to dry
3	Area dominated by dense to moderately dense vegetation; mature grasslands, intermittently flooded; water table at or near land surface; soils wet to moist
4	Area dominated by sparse vegetation; open grass and shrub lands; water table below land surface; soils dry
5	Area dominated by moist bare soil; vegetation very sparse; water table at or near land surface; soils wet to moist
6	Previously farmed field; vegetation sparse; water table below land surface; soils dry
7	Area of open water; reservoir or large spring pool
