Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) for Improved Mapping of Wetland Resources and Assessment of Wetland Conservation Practices
Relief relative to a local elevation maximum provided a strong indicator of inundation dynamics (i.e., hydroperiod), but was less useful for mapping wetland boundaries. Combining local relief and an Enhanced Topographic Wetness Index produced a map that was well suited for mapping wetland extent and hydroperiod. Wetlands mapped using aerial photographs or LiDAR-derived digital elevation models ...
متن کاملGIS and Remote Sensing Applications in Wetland Mapping and Monitoring
Wetlands are recognized as one of the world’s most valuable natural resources. With the increasing world population, human demands on wetland resources for agricultural expansion and urban development continue to increase. In addition, global climate change has pronounced impacts on wetland ecosystems through alterations in hydrological regimes. To better manage and conserve wetland resources, ...
متن کاملInland wetlands mapping and vulnerability assessment using an integrated geographic information system and remote sensing techniques
The understanding of inland wetlands’ distribution and their level of vulnerability is important to enhance management and conservation efforts. The aim of the study was to map inland wetlands and assess their distribution pattern and vulnerability to natural and human disturbances such as climate change (temperature increase) and human activities by the year 2080. Inland wetland types i.e. for...
متن کاملSuper-resolution mapping of wetland inundation from remote sensing
Mapping the spatio-temporal characteristics of wetland 19 inundation has important significance to the study of wetland environment and 20 associated flora and fauna. High temporal remote sensing imagery is widely 21 used for this purpose with the limitations of relatively low spatial resolutions. In 22 this study, a novel method based on integration of back-propagation neural 23 network (BP) a...
متن کاملEffects of Temperature and Site Characteristics on Phosphorus Dynamics in Four Restored Wetlands: Implications for Wetland Hydrologic Management and Restoration
Restoring historic lake-fringe wetlands is considered a favorable means of reducing lake phosphorus levels; however, it is unclear how various strategies for managing wetland connectivity influence phosphorus release. We investigated the relationships between temperature and soil characteristics of restored wetlands to identify management strategies that minimize external phosphorus loading to ...
