Abstract Question Remote sensing is a fundamental tool to monitor biodiversity and spectral diversity may represent proxy for different facets such as taxonomic (TD) functional (FD). We used fine‐resolution multispectral imagery explore (SD) patterns across spatial scales (i.e., plot, transect, area), assess SD relationships with TD FD along an environmental gradient. Location Coastal sand dune, Viareggio, Italy (“Migliarino–San Rossore–Massaciuccoli” Regional Park, 43°83′ N, 10°25′ E)....
The advantages derived from the use of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are well-established: they cost-effective and easy to use. There numerous environmental applications, particularly when monitoring contexts characterized by rapid morphological changes high rates sediment transport, such as coastal areas. In this paper, three different case studies survey with resolution accuracy obtained through UAVs presented; these concern transgressive sites. Results allow for definition...
This study investigates the application of a terrestrial structure from motionmulti-view stereo (SfM-MVS) approach combined with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys for monitoring surface topographic change two permanent ice deposits in caves located Julian Alps (south-eastern European Alps). method allows accurate calculation both seasonal and annual mass balance, estimating amount inside caves. The ground-based SfM represents low-cost workflow very limited logistical problems...
The use of non-invasive methodologies is becoming essential for archaeological research, and ground penetrating radar one the most important techniques to obtain high resolution information. In this paper we present analysis a full 3-D GPR dataset integrated with high-resolution photogrammetric survey acquired in Roman site located Aquileia (Northeast Italy) within partially excavated area known as “Fondo Pasqualis”. We evaluated importance dense accurate data collection processing signal...
The Greater Flamingo Phoenicopterus roseus is known as an ecosystem engineer, rearranging sediment in peculiar bedforms a consequence of its filter-feeding behaviour. In recent decades, the populations have notably increased, and now species one most abundant waterbirds Mediterranean wetlands. Owing to range expansion, it inhabits exploits new suitable foraging sites detectable by structures left on sediment. There are few images morphologies literature, possibly due their ephemeral nature...
Summary Remote sensing is a fundamental tool to monitor biodiversity over large spatial extents. However, it still not clear whether spectral diversity (SD - variation of response across set pixels) may represent fast and reliable proxy for different facets such as taxonomic (TD) functional (FD) scales. We used fine resolution (3 cm) multispectral imagery on coastal dune communities in Italy explore SD patterns scales assess relationships with TD FD along the environmental gradient. measured...
A practical tool for coastal data spatial cataloguing based on sediment budget computation is herein proposed and discussed, using a modified version of the Littoral Cells Management System (SICELL) originally created by Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy.For management purposes, geodatabase Veneto coast has been constructed, that includes 77 sedimentary units or cells, described physicalmorphological, evolutionary, land-use pressure defences data.Each littoral cell basically identified more...
While beach erosion and sand loss are typically of great concern to the tourism industry, managing rapid morphological changes linked large amounts moving sediments is challenge facing Grado, an important seaside resort in northern Adriatic, Italy. The cause unusual management conflict presence Mula di Muggia Bank, a nearshore depositional system made up relict active migrating sandbanks extending 2 km seawards from touristic beachfront. A reconstruction morpho-sedimentary evolution coastal...
<p>The monitoring of landslides using UAVs is particularly convenient as these are dangerous areas that present access difficulties. This study aims to integrate carried out via traditional techniques (GNSS and total station surveys benchmarks) with UAV photogrammetric survey, the latter allows for a precise assessment volumes affected by movement. The Masarach landslide, located in Friuli Venezia Giulia (north east Italy), covers an area approximately 200 ha. Two were two...
<p>Photogrammetric surveys from UAV and LiDAR are two techniques that allow for the production of very high resolution point clouds. The use these result in a detailed reconstruction difficult-to-access environments such as underground cavities. A rigorous georeferencing acquired data allows comparison hypogean development cave to overlying territory. This study presents case integration between techniques, applied risk assessment collapse vaults natural cavity Trieste Karst...
