Quantifying aboveground herbaceous biomass in grassy ecosystems: a comparison of field and high‐resolution UAV‐LiDAR approaches

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The abundance of herbaceous vegetation in grassy ecosystems—which cover >25% of the world's land surface—is highly variable and impacts key ecological processes including carbon sequestration and support for grazing wildlife and livestock. Here, we present a method for using high‐resolution, UAV‐borne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) to estimate ...

ECOSTRESS‐derived semi‐arid forest temperature and evapotranspiration estimates demonstrate drought and thinning impacts

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ECOSTRESS lands surface temperature (LST) data are sensitive to forest thinning, regional drought, and their interaction. Consistent with high‐resolution UAV images, ECOSTRESS LST data indicate thinned forest had significantly greater temperature across years.

Investigating boreal forest successional stages in Alaska and Northwest Canada using UAV‐LiDAR and RGB and a community detection network

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel application of UAV‐LiDAR and Red Green Blue (RGB) data and network analysis to enhance our understanding of boreal forest succession. The results indicate that tree height and spectral variables are the most influential predictors of plant functional type in random forest algorithms, and high overall accuracies were attained.

Spectral characterization of plant diversity in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
How well can airborne imaging spectroscopy detect plant diversity in vertically complex agroforestry systems? We tested this in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation in Sumatra, Indonesia, using high‐resolution hyperspectral data. We calculated spectral alpha and beta diversity and compared them to field‐based plant diversity.

Assessing group size and the demographic composition of a canopy‐dwelling primate, the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus), using arboreal camera trapping and genetic tagging

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We combined arboreal camera trapping and non‐invasive genetic tagging to estimate group size in the critically endangered northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) in Brazil's Atlantic Forest. Both methods provided complementary insights into group size and demographic structure, while differing in their cost‐effectiveness and sampling constraints ...
