Flood Extent Mapping During Hurricane Florence With Repeat-Pass L-Band UAVSAR Images

Chao Wang et al.

Summary: Extreme precipitation events are causing increased flooding due to climate change. By combining polarimetric decomposition methods and a Random Forest classifier, along with linear polarizations and terrain variables, the accuracy of flood inundation classification can be significantly improved. This research is important for flood disaster response, management, and prevention.

QADI as a New Method and Alternative to Kappa for Accuracy Assessment of Remote Sensing-Based Image Classification

Bakhtiar Feizizadeh et al.

Summary: Classification is a common image processing task, and the accuracy of the classified map is usually assessed by comparing with real-world situations or reference data. This article introduces a new index called QADI, which overcomes the limitations of traditional index Kappa and provides a more reliable assessment of classification accuracy.

The Importance of Lake Emergent Aquatic Vegetation for Estimating Arctic-Boreal Methane Emissions

Ethan D. Kyzvat et al.

Summary: Areas of lakes with emergent aquatic vegetation emit more methane than open water, but are often overlooked in estimates of lake methane emissions. Using airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mapping and field measurements, we found that these vegetated areas are more extensive than previously estimated and exhibit regional differences. When these areas were accounted for, overall lake methane emissions increased compared to estimates that did not differentiate lake zones. This highlights the need for methane-relevant remote sensing measurements and a consistent criterion for distinguishing wetlands in lake studies.

Aboveground biomass distributions and vegetation composition changes in Louisiana's Wax Lake Delta

Daniel Jensen et al.

Summary: The Wax Lake Delta is an actively prograding delta in the Mississippi River Delta Plain, accumulating sediment that increases soil surface elevation and changes wetland communities as the delta develops. This study utilized high resolution imaging data to map vegetation species and types, showing changes in wetland forest species and herbaceous wetland species over a 5-year period. The research also examined plant growth patterns in different elevational zones to inform future restoration efforts in the area.

Effects of Using High Resolution Satellite-Based Inundation Time Series to Estimate Methane Fluxes From Forested Wetlands

Kelly L. Hondula et al.

Summary: This study used satellite imagery and a methane emission model to estimate the surface water extent and diffusive methane fluxes in wetlands, showing that wetlands smaller than 1 hectare were responsible for the majority of emissions. Considering the dynamic inundation of forested wetlands resulted in 49%-62% lower emission totals compared to models using a single estimate for each wetland's size.

Summary: The study found that landscape matrix and invasion intensity were the primary drivers of functional diversity, while invasion intensity was influenced by physicochemistry and functional diversity. The trait-environment patterns clearly separated wetlands by invasion status, with uninvaded wetlands surrounded by lowland conifers and stress-tolerant traits, and invaded wetlands containing traits associated with disturbance, high resource availability, and reproduction rates.
