Hyperspectral remote sensing of vegetation species distribution in a saltmarsh

The availability of quality empirical data on vegetation species distribution is a major factor limiting the understanding, if not resolution, of many nature conservation issues. Accurate knowledge of the distribution of plant species can form a critical component for managing ecosystems and preserving biological diversity. Remote sensing is an important tool for mapping and monitoring vegetation. Advances in sensor technology continually improve the information content of imagery for airborne as well as space-borne systems. The unifying hypothesis of this dissertation was that vegetation asso... Mehr ...
