Tree recruitment in the Forest-tundra Ecotone
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: This thesis is a product under the International Polar Year (IPY) core project PPS Arctic (http://ppsarctic.nina.no) which was financially supported by the Research Council of Norway via the IPY grant 176065/S30 to A. Hofgaard. I would like to thank my supervisors Lars Söderström (NTNU) and Annika Hofgaard (NINA) for their time and effort in helping me build and structure this...
متن کاملAutomatic Detection of Small Single Trees in the Forest-Tundra Ecotone Using Airborne Laser Scanning
A large proportion of Norway’s land area is occupied by the forest-tundra ecotone. The vegetation of this temperature-sensitive ecosystem between mountain forest and the alpine zone is expected to be highly affected by climate change and effective monitoring techniques are required. For the detection of such small pioneer trees, airborne laser scanning (ALS) has been proposed as a useful tool e...
متن کاملImproving Classification of Airborne Laser Scanning Echoes in the Forest-Tundra Ecotone Using Geostatistical and Statistical Measures
The vegetation in the forest-tundra ecotone zone is expected to be highly affected by climate change and requires effective monitoring techniques. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) has been proposed as a tool for the detection of small pioneer trees for such vast areas using laser height and intensity data. The main objective of the present study was to assess a possible improvement in the performa...
متن کاملDetection and Segmentation of Small Trees in the Forest-Tundra Ecotone Using Airborne Laser Scanning
Due to expected climate change and increased focus on forests as a potential carbon sink, it is of interest to map and monitor even marginal forests where trees exist close to their tolerance limits, such as small pioneer trees in the forest-tundra ecotone. Such small trees might indicate tree line migrations and expansion of the forests into treeless areas. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) has be...
متن کاملForest Classification Based on Forest texture in Northwest Yunnan Province
Forest texture is an intrinsic characteristic and an important visual feature of a forest ecological system. Full utilization of forest texture will be a great help in increasing the accuracy of forest classification based on remote sensed data. Taking Shangri-La as a study area, forest classification has been based on the texture. The results show that: (1) From the texture abundance, texture ...
