Hyperspectral remote sensing enables the large-scale mapping of canopy biochemical properties. This study explored possibility retrieving concentration nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium from mangroves in Berau Delta, Indonesia. The objectives were to (1) assess accuracy foliar chemistry retrieval, (2) compare performance models based on support vector regression (SVR), i.e. ϵ-SVR, ν-SVR, least squares SVR (LS-SVR), partial (PLSR), (3) investigate which spectral...
Abstract. Vegetation structure in water-limited systems is to a large degree controlled by ecohydrological processes, including mean annual precipitation (MAP) modulated the characteristics of and geomorphology that collectively determine how rainfall distributed vertically into soils or horizontally landscape. We anticipate woody canopy cover, crown density, size, level spatial aggregation among plants landscape will vary across environmental gradients. A high plant most distinct periodic...
Abstract Aim The aims of this study were to (1) estimate current rates woody encroachment across African savannas; (2) identify relationships between change in cover and potential drivers, including water constraints, fire frequency livestock density. found led us pursue a third goal: (3) use temporal dynamics cover. Location Sub‐Saharan savannas. Methods used very high spatial resolution satellite imagery at sites with overlapping older (2002–2006) newer (2011–2016) We sampled 596 38...
The estimation of species composition and species-specific stem volumes are critical components many forest inventories. use airborne laser scanning with multiple spectral channels may prove instrumental for the cost-efficient retrieval these variables. In this study, we scanned a boreal using two channels: 532 nm (green) 1064 (near infrared). data was used in two-step methodology to (1) classify species, (2) estimate volume at level individual tree crowns. classification pines, spruces...
In this study, we compared the classification accuracy at plot-level of three tree species in a boreal forest using deep learning (DL) network applied to very high resolution (VHR) ALS data acquired with ~593 points/m <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , or linear discriminant analysis (LDA) method dual-wavelength (DW) data, ~80 .The methods were single trees, which aggregated (10 m radius) where majority class was used for...
