A large-scale forest landscape model incorporating multi-scale processes and utilizing forest inventory data
Two challenges confronting forest landscape models (FLMs) are how to simulate fine, standscale processes while making large-scale (i.e., .10 ha) simulation possible, and how to take advantage of extensive forest inventory data such as U.S. Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data to initialize and constrain model parameters. We present the LANDIS PRO model that addresses these needs. LANDIS PRO...
متن کاملMeasurement repeatability of a large-scale inventory of forest fuels
An efficient and accurate inventory of forest fuels at large scales is critical for assessment of forest fire hazards across landscapes. The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program of the USDA Forest Service conducts a national inventory of fuels along with blind remeasurement of a portion of inventory plots to monitor and improve data quality. The goal of this study was to evaluate the mea...
متن کاملForest ecosystem processes at the watershed scale: incorporating hillslope hydrology
Band, L.E., Patterson, P., Nemani, R. and Running, S.W., 1993. Forest ecosystem processes at the watershed scale: incorporating hillslope hydrology. Agric. For. Meteorol., 63: 93-126. An approach to distributed modeling of watershed hydro-ecological processes over large spatial scales is described. A data and simulation system, RHESSys (Regional HydroEcological Simulation System), combines a se...
متن کاملUtilizing a Landscape Scale Model of Forest Disturbance and Succession For Forest Decision-Making in the Southern Appalachians
The management of public forested lands is a difficult and time-consuming endeavor. Forest resource managers often make decisions at fine spatial and temporal scales. While this is useful, it is equally important to understand and make decisions regarding landscape level phenomena at broad temporal scales. Key questions managers should be asking such as “how will vegetation respond to disturban...
متن کاملHierarchical Watershed Segmentation of Canopy Height Model for Multi-scale Forest Inventory
Canopy Height Model (CHM) is a standard LiDAR-derived product for deriving relevant forest inventory information, among which individual tree identification is a crucial task. The watershed algorithm from markers is the typical procedure applied to CHMs for delineation of crowns. However, for low-quality CHMs or under certain canopy conditions, segmentation at individual tree level is not pract...
