Use of visible spectrum sUAS photography for land cover classification at nest sites of a declining bird species (Falco sparverius)

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Photography with small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) offers opportunities for researchers to better understand habitat selection in wildlife, especially for species that select habitat from an aerial perspective (e.g., many bird species).

Wetland habitat selection by woodland caribou as characterized using the Alberta Wetland Inventory

open access: yesRangifer, 2011
We examined habitat selection by woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in northwestern Alberta based on a wetland classification system developed for the Alberta Vegetation Inventory. Our two objectives were to describe caribou habitat use, and to

The contribution of Earth observation technologies to the reporting obligations of the Habitats Directive and Natura 2000 network in a protected wetland [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Background Wetlands are highly productive systems that supply a host of ecosystem services and benefits. Nonetheless, wetlands have been drained and filled to provide sites for building houses and roads and for establishing farmland, with an estimated ...

Comparing Habitat Classification Schemes for Assessing Landscape Diversity [PDF]

open access: yesGI_Forum 2013 – Creating the GISociety, 2013
One of the core European Union environmental policies is the creation and monitoring of the Natura 2000 network of protected areas. This network has been explicitly established for the preservation of conservation priority habitat types and species. Still the concept of habitat is a key concept for ecologists that remains ill defined and is notoriously

Application of Standard Ecological Community Classification (CMECS) to Coastal Zone Management and Conservation on Small Islands

open access: yesLand
Classification of island coastal landscapes is a challenge to incorporate both the terrestrial and the aquatic environment characteristics, and place biological diversity in a regional and insular context. The Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification

Habitat Classification of Temperate Marine Macroalgal Communities Using Bathymetric LiDAR

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2014
Here, we evaluated the potential of using bathymetric Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) to characterise shallow water (<30 m) benthic habitats of high energy subtidal coastal environments.

RESEARCH ON CLASSIFICATION OF HABITAT IN MOUNTAIN RIVERS

open access: yesPROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 2002
Mountain rivers are very steep and sediment transportation occurs frequently. It is very difficult to prevent natural disaster on natural mountain rivers, whose forms tend to change. Therefore river works which had an impact on the environment, for example channel work, have been constructed.

Informing Thin-Layer Placement for Coastal Wetland Restoration Through Remote Sensing and Community Outreach

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Due to multiple anthropogenic drivers, coastal wetlands have lost roughly 50% of their historical coverage, and deterioration is accelerating with rising sea levels.

Mesohabitat indicator species in a coastal stream of the Atlantic rainforest, Rio de Janeiro-Brazil

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2010
The Mato Grosso is a typical Atlantic Forest stream located on the East coast of Brazil, approximately 70km from Rio de Janeiro city. From its source at about 800m a.s.l, the stream drains a 30km² area of the Northwestern part of the municipality of ...
