Satellite-derived spectral indices such as the relativized burn ratio (RBR) allow fire severity maps to be produced in a relatively straightforward manner across multiple fires and broad spatial extents. These often have strong relationships with field-based measurements of severity, thereby justifying their widespread use management science. However, satellite-derived been criticized because non-standardized units render them difficult interpret relative on-the-ground effects. In this...
Areas affected by forest fires are increasing worldwide, making salvage logging (i.e., harvesting fire-affected trees) an increasingly used practice to reduce the economic impacts of fire on forestry. However, can have strong ecological impacts, notably post-fire regeneration and biodiversity. Burn severity degree which impact vegetation soil) is also a central element that interacts with pre-fire characteristics salvages control dynamics In ecosystem-based management context, spatial...
Accurate information about forestry roads is a key aspect of forest management in terms economy (e.g. accessibility, cost, optimal path) and ecology wildfire wildlife protection). In Canada, fact, globally, most provincial, state or territory governments maintain vectorial on the under their jurisdiction. However, official maps are not always accurate, may lack road attributes interest up-to-date. Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) has become an established technology to accurately characterize...
Accurate information on road location is critical for forest management and conservation strategies. Road data supports the analysis of accessibility usability a layer harvest, financial planning, wildfire suppression, protection activities. The global expanse forests, their remoteness, difficulty to access have necessitated development automatic or semi-automatic remote sensing methodologies map roads using passive optical imagery Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS). Conventional mapping methods...
Airborne laser scanning (ALS) point-clouds are used in forest inventory to map properties of the resource. In most cases, only (x,y,z) coordinates point cloud build predictive models structure. Despite being recorded and provided by data suppliers, intensity values associated with each rarely as an input such because raw vary within between datasets not due variations target reflectivity, but also settings conditions that may either modify emitted energy or distance sensor targets. Some...
Fire events are intensifying worldwide, making salvage logging (i.e., harvesting fire-affected trees) an increasingly used practice to reduce the economic impacts of fire on forestry. However, can have strong ecological impacts, notably post-fire forest regeneration and biodiversity. Burn severity degree which fires impact vegetation soil) is also a central element that interacts with pre-fire characteristics salvages control dynamics In ecosystem-based management context, spatial patterns...
