Going Undercover: Mapping Woodland Understorey from Leaf-on and Leaf-off Lidar Data
An understorey model is created for an area of broadleaf, deciduous woodland in eastern England using airborne LiDAR data from winter 2003 (leaf-off conditions) and summer 2005 (leaf-on). The woodland is ancient, semi-natural broadleaf and has a heterogeneous structure, with a mostly closed canopy overstorey and a patchy understorey layer beneath. In places, particularly in the centre of the st...

This paper investigates the utility of different parameters from polarimetric interferometric SAR data for the identification of ground pixels in a woodland area to enable accurate digital terrain model (DTM) generation from the InSAR height of the selected ground hit pixels. The parameters assessed include radar backscatter, interferometric coherence, surface scattering proportion (based on Fr...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Variation of Lead, Cadmium, and Zinc in Feathers of Great Tit and Blue Tit Nestlings in Central Poland
In this study, we examined heavy-metal concentrations in feathers of nestling great tits Parus major and blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus at two different sites (urban parkland vs. deciduous forest) located in the Łódź agglomeration in relation to interyear variation. We found that tit species did not differ significantly in lead and cadmium concentrations. Zinc concentration was significantly hig...
متن کاملمقایسه تجمع سرب در دندانهای شیری و دائمی مناطق شهری و روستایی شهرستان زنجان
Background and purpose: Lead is a heavy metal, which has been replaced by calcium hydroxyapatite in tooth enamel. It is considered as an index of pollution assessment. Zanjan province is potential area for lead element accumulation. This study aimed at comparing the amount of lead in human deciduous and permanent teeth in order to evaluate and determine the risk of lead pollution in urban and r...
متن کاملBiomonitoring of Airborne Heavy Metal Contamination
During the last few decades, heavy metal contamination of biotic component of environment has attracted the attention of many investigators. The main reason of these researches based on the heavy metal concentration may have a potential hazard in our food chain after a long period of procrastination. Using biological materials in the determination of environmental pollution as indicators is a c...
