The Affect of Spatial Resolution on Measurement of Vegetation Cover in Three Mojave Desert Shrub Communities
1 The Affect of Spatial Resolution on Measurement of Vegetation Cover in Three Mojave Desert Shrub Communities Thomas D. Frank and Scott A. Tweddale Abstract Coarse resolution remotely sensed imagery (20-30m) has lacked sufficient spatial resolution to accurately measure total vegetative cover in arid environments where vegetation cover is relatively low. New and emerging satellite and airborne...
متن کاملHabitat Effect on Allometry of a Xeric Shrub (Artemisia ordosica Krasch) in the Mu Us Desert of Northern China
Allometric models are useful for assessment of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and aboveground biomass (AGB) of forests and shrubs, and are widely implemented in forest inventory and management. Multiple forms of allometric models have been used to estimate vegetation carbon storage for desert shrubland, but their validity for biomass estimation has not been tested at a region scale...

Remote sensing of woody shrub cover in desert grasslands using MISR with a geometric-optical canopy reflectance model
A new method is described for the retrieval of fractional cover of large woody plants (shrubs) at the landscape scale using moderate resolution multi-angle remote sensing data from the Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) and a hybrid geometric-optical (GO) canopy reflectance model. Remote sensing from space is the only feasible method for regularly mapping woody shrub cover over large a...
متن کاملHealth oasis in the desert southwest.
In the desert Southwest, communities are slaking their thirst for knowledge with an outreach program that is overflowing with environmental health information. The Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC) at the University of Arizona in Tucson is one of 21 such centers that, along with 5 Marine and Freshwater Biomedical Sciences Centers and 1 Developmental Center, make up the 28 ...
