🚨 New paper, led by Cristina Barber. We used high-resolution aerial imagery to study tree mortality in a tropical landscape. Large, isolated trees were most likely to die--alarming finding! @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Thank you! We're exploring a similar approach comparing UAS and satellite imagery in a post-fire environment here in Idaho. We're particularly interested in investigating the consequences of hillslope runoff and erosion.
Hydrology Paper of the Day @geospatialtao.bsky.social on a novel framework for UAS remote sensing of rangelands: the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed in southwest Idaho; machine learning image classification; comparison with existing data products; and the effects of spatial resolution.
Our paper shows how high-resolution multispectral drone imagery can effectively map vegetation cover in spatially heterogeneous landscapes: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
