Using Lidar Data to Analyse Sinkhole Characteristics Relevant for Understory Vegetation under Forest Cover—Case Study of a High Karst Area in the Dinaric Mountains
In this article, we investigate the potential for detection and characterization of sinkholes under dense forest cover by using airborne laser scanning data. Laser pulse returns from the ground provide important data for the estimation of digital elevation model (DEM), which can be used for further processing. The main objectives of this study were to map and determine the geomorphometric chara...
متن کاملUsing LiDAR-derived vegetation metrics for high-resolution, species distribution models for conservation planning
Advances in remotely sensed data for characterizing habitat have enabled development of spatially explicit predictive species distribution models (SDM) that can be essential tools for management. SDMs commonly use coarse-grain metrics, such as forest patch size or patch connectivity, over broad spatial extents. However, species distributions are likely driven in part by local, fine-grained habi...
متن کاملCaspian Coastal Forests: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Understory Vegetation
Moist and temperate Caspian forests are associated with a diversity of soil types and topography. Although, natural history and ecological attributes of the Caspian vegetation is well-documented, little is known about mycorrhizae of the Caspian (Hyrcanian) flora. Samples of herbaceous plant species were collected from 4 pre-determined altitudes (-13 upto about 1500m above sea level, appro...
متن کاملMonitoring Sparse Perennial Vegetation Cover
In Australia, remotely sensed Landsat TM data is routinely used for mapping and monitoring the change in extent of woody perennial vegetation cover providing information for conservation, land management and for modelling carbon flux and water use. For a variety of reasons including land cover definitions and sensor spectral limitations, studies have tended to focus on reporting changes in land...
متن کاملHierarchical Classification of Vegetation Cover Using Decision Tree Method
LANDFIRE is a large interagency project that supports national fire management and fuels treatment activities. A primary data product of LANDFIRE is a detailed vegetation type classification. This study describes how independent data from Landsat imagery, topographic data, biophysical data layers, and dependent field-collected data can be used in a hierarchical mapping approach to improve veget...
