Since 2010 Australian ecosystems and managed landscapes have been severely threatened by the invasive fungal pathogen Austropuccinia psidii . Detecting monitoring disease outbreaks is currently only possible human assessors, which slow labour intensive. Over last 25 years, spectral vegetation indices ( SVI s) designed to assess variation in biochemical or biophysical traits of vegetation. However, diagnosis individual diseases based on classical s not because they lack specificity. Here, a...
Abstract Questions Fire is a crucial component of many ecosystems. Plants whose seeds germinate in response to smoke may benefit from resource availability the post‐fire environment. Smoke can influence germination timing and success, as well seedling vigour, resulting burgeoning research interest smoke‐responsive germination. Research this field has largely focused on four key ‘Mediterranean‐type’ fire‐prone ecosystems: Mediterranean Basin, South African fynbos, Californian chaparral...
Abstract Optical sensors, mounted on uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), are typically pointed straight downward to simplify structure-from-motion and image processing. High horizontal vertical overlap during UAV missions effectively leads each object being measured from a range of different view angles, resulting in rich multi-angular reflectance dataset. We propose method extract data, their associated distinct zenith angles (VZA) azimuth (VAA), UAV-mounted optical cameras; enhancing plant...
Abstract While saltmarsh communities are endangered in many parts of the world due to anthropogenic impact, risk invasion by exotic plants is considered be low because their saline conditions. However, urban areas, saltmarshes receive high nutrient freshwater input through stormwater discharge. We tested if plant species was facilitated increased nutrients and reduced salinity associated with input. In a manipulative glasshouse experiment, we grew under four treatments: salinity–low...
