N2 - We present initial results of a vegetation survey of the Great Gobi A Strictly Protected Area. The plant biodiversity within this area is closely related to the average precipitation pattern. Thirteen plant communities were derived, and we chose plots for the nine zonal communities as ground truth data for a supervised classification of Landsat data. Accuracy of the final habitat map was > 90 %. We additionally give an overview of all remotely sensed data which we compiled to create a complex GIS data base. The GIS can serve as a tool for the protection and conservation of Przewalski Horses and Khulans.
