Coastal Dune Invaders: Integrative Mapping of Carpobrotus sp. pl. (Aizoaceae) Using UAVs

Michele Innangi et al.

Summary: Coastal dune ecosystems are threatened by invasive alien plants, and using remote sensing techniques, particularly unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), can be effective for mapping these species. In this study, UAV images were used to map a dune invader (Carpobrotus sp. pl.) using image segmentation and machine learning classification. The results showed that using both RGB and multispectral data improved the prediction of Carpobrotus, mapping the whole plant or its vegetative parts produced the best results, and a training area corresponding to 20% of the total area was sufficient for model building.

The success of woody plant removal depends on encroachment stage and plant traits

Jingyi Ding et al.

Summary: Woody plants are spreading globally, causing negative impacts on livestock production and terrestrial ecosystems. A global assessment was conducted to determine if removing these plants can restore productive grasslands and open savannas. However, the results show that removal is not effective in reversing the encroachment impacts, with only partial recovery of herbaceous structure and an overall enhancement of ecosystem functions. The success of removal varies with the encroachment stage and functional traits of the woody species, and is influenced by regional aridity.

Mapping Shrub Coverage in Xilin Gol Grassland with Multi-Temporal Sentinel-2 Imagery

Liqin Gan et al.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated and mapped the shrub coverage across the Xilin Gol grassland in Inner Mongolia, China, using Sentinel-2 imagery. The study divided the research area into three subregions based on precipitation data and compared different factors for shrub coverage estimation. The results showed that the accuracy of the mapping varied with the year, vegetation index, and phenological period.

Estimating Fractional Vegetation Cover Changes in Desert Regions Using RGB Data

Lu Xie et al.

Summary: Fractional vegetation cover (FVC) is an important indicator of ecosystem changes. This study used satellite remote sensing and machine learning algorithms to estimate FVC in desert regions. The results showed that RGB images are suitable for mapping FVC, and the vegetation cover in the study area changed significantly from 2006 to 2019. Understanding these changes is crucial for understanding the evolution of desert ecosystems.

A commentary review on the use of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in the era of popular remote sensing

Sha Huang et al.

Summary: The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a popular index for vegetation assessment due to its simplicity and ability to be calculated with any multispectral sensor. However, considerations such as atmospheric effects, saturation phenomena, and sensor factors must be taken into account to ensure effective use of NDVI in various applications, particularly in the UAV user community.
