Book excerpt: "Great Lakes coastal wetlands are some of the most crucial ecosystems to biodiversity in the Great Lakes Basin, yet suffer increasing degradation due to invasive plants. Wetland plant invasions can be controlled in their initial stages, but early detection of invasive plants using field surveys are often untenable due to budget constraints. Remote sensing techniques offer solutions to management objectives during the early stages of invasion on a landscape scale due to their ability to cheaply create spatially explicit information about plant distributions. Some invasive plants, such as Typha x. glauca, are conspicuous on a large scale, and can be mapped to their current extent using new satellite and modeling techniques. Inconspicuous invasive plants however, such as Hydrocharis morsus-ranae, may be undetectable by remote sensing sources and require predictive strategies. In this thesis I explored the use of remote sensing in the management of a conspicuous and inconspicuous invasive wetland plants in the St. Mary's River, MI. I successfully classified the current extent of conspicuous Typha x. glauca and other wetland vegetation types to provide spatially explicit maps for early detection and management and examined methods that can be adapted for use in emergent wetlands worldwide. The habitat suitability of inconspicuous Hydrocharis morsus-ranae was also determined using novel fine-scale habitat covariates determined from lidar and radar. Habitat covariates derived from these sources should see wider use in species distribution modeling, particularly with wetland plants, to create better predictions of invasive plant expansions. Implementation of new and upcoming remote sensing data sources and methods will allow for better invasive wetland plant management at greater spatial and temporal scales than field studies alone."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detailed and accurate information on the spatial distribution of individual species over large spatial extents and over multiple time periods is critical for rapid response and effective management of environmental change. The twenty first century has witnessed a rapid development in both fine resolution sensors and statistical theories and techniques. These innovations hold great potential for improved accuracy of species mapping using remote sensing. Fine Resolution Remote Sensing of Species in Terrestrial and Coastal Ecosystems is a collection of eight cutting-edge studies of fine spatial resolution remote sensing, including species mapping of biogenic and coral reefs, seagrasses, salt and freshwater marshes, and grasslands. The studies illustrate the power of fine resolution imagery for species identification, as well as the value of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery as an ideal source of high-quality reference data at the species level. The studies also highlight the benefit of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data for species identification, and how this varies depending on the species of interest as well as the nature of the context in which the species is found. The broad range of applications explored in the book demonstrates the major contribution of remote sensing to species-level terrestrial and coastal ecosystem studies as well as the potential for future advances. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Remote Sensing.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Lakes coastal wetlands are subject to water level fluctuations that promote the maintenance of coastal wetlands. Point au Sauble, a Green Bay coastal wetland, was an open water lagoon as of 1999, but became entirely vegetated as Lake Michigan experienced a prolonged period of below-average water levels. Repeat visits in 2001 and 2004 documented a dramatic change in emergent wetland vegetation communities. In 2001 non-native Phragmites and Typha were present but their cover was sparse; in 2004 half of the transect was covered by a 3 m tall, invasive Phragmites and non-native Typha community. Percent similarity between plant species present in 2001 versus 2004 was approximately 19% (Jaccard's coefficient), indicating dramatic changes in species composition that took place in only 3 years. The height of the dominant herbaceous plants and coverage by invasive species were significantly higher in 2004 than they were in 2001. However, floristic quality index and coefficient of conservatism were greater in 2004 than 2001. Cover by plant litter did not differ between 2001 and 2004. The prolonged period of below-average water levels between 1999 and early 2004 exposed unvegetated lagoon bottoms as mudflats, which provided substrate for new plant colonization and created conditions conducive to colonization by invasive taxa. PCR/RFLP analysis revealed that Phragmites from Point au Sauble belongs to the more aggressive, introduced genotype. It displaces native vegetation and is tolerant of a wide range of water depth. Therefore it may disrupt the natural cycles of vegetation replacement that occur under native plant communities in healthy Great Lakes coastal wetlands.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exotic plant invasion is a major environmental and ecological concern and is a particular issue for wetland ecosystems. I present statistical models that predict the locations of three exotic invasive plants (Arundo donax, Eucalyptus species (Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus calmodulensis), and Tamarix ramosissima) that invade wetland areas throughout San Diego County based on their spectral signatures. I used three images that differed in their spectral resolutions and spectral coverage: Color-infrared (1m pixel size, infrared, blue and green bands), high resolution true color imagery (lm pixel size, red, blue and green bands), and hyperspectral Landsat imagery (30m pixel size, blue, green, red, near infrared, (2), mid infrared, and thermal infrared bands). For each invasive plant, three well-known multivariate statistical analyses, Discriminant Function Analysis (D.F.A.), Quadratic Discriminant Function Analysis (Q.D.F.A.), and CART, were used to identifY the models that best separated invasive plants from surrounding vegetation. A predictive accuracy analysis was preformed for each model by predicting which points should contain the invasive species based on their spectral values, then comparing these predictions to the actual presence or absence of the species. The best model for both Arundo and Eucalyptus species was obtained from the Q.D.F.A. using spectral values calculated from a combination ofNAIP and Landsat wavebands. CART using spectral values obtained from Landsat imagery produced the best results for Tamarix. Past studies show that plant species do in fact have distinct spectral signatures however; further investigation of classification techniques for this study is needed in order to create a more successful predictive model for each invasive plant species. Key-words: Discriminant Function Analysis, CART Model, hyperspectral imagery, invasive plants, predictive model, spectral signatures.

Book excerpt: Different dimensions of biodiversity are increasingly appreciated as critical for maintaining the functions of ecosystems and their services to humans. More recently, with the emergence of functional biogeography, functional diversity is of particular interest due to its strong links with ecosystem processes such as carbon, water and energy exchange, and climate mitigation. The multi-form diversity varies in space and time. Understanding this variation across scales is important for tracking the resilience of Earth’s ecosystem, and the information on the ecosystem structural features provides necessary foundations for monitoring, predicting the ecosystem functioning patterns and process of ecosystems from individual unit to its whole in a holistic manner. In recent, the high-resolution, high-throughput, non-intrusive, and large-scale data on biodiversity monitoring and measurement are becoming a new trend toward enhancing the efficiency and coherency in ecological discovery. Still, the available multi-scale data on multi-dimensional diversity are incomplete and non-representative taxonomically, geographically and temporally. Although the studies on functional traits and their relations with function continue to grow, local observations on functional traits are limited. Recently, remote sensing has proved to be a critical technology for addressing this research gap. Air- and satellite-borne spectrometers at different levels could develop novel diversity measurements and alternati

This book was released on 2006-02-02 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aquatic coastal zone is one of the most challenging targets for environmental remote sensing. Properties such as bottom reflectance, spectrally diverse suspended sediments and phytoplankton communities, diverse benthic communities, and transient events that affect surface reflectance (coastal blooms, runoff, etc.) all combine to produce an optical complexity not seen in terrestrial or open ocean systems. Despite this complexity, remote sensing is proving to be an invaluable tool for "Case 2" waters. This book presents recent advances in coastal remote sensing with an emphasis on applied science and management. Case studies of the operational use of remote sensing in ecosystem studies, monitoring, and interfacing remote sensing/science/management are presented. Spectral signatures of phytoplankton and suspended sediments are discussed in detail with accompanying discussion of why blue water (Case 1) algorithms cannot be applied to Case 2 waters. Audience This book is targeted for scientists and managers interested in using remote sensing in the study or management of aquatic coastal environments. With only limited discussion of optics and theory presented in the book, such researchers might benefit from the detailed presentations of aquatic spectral signatures, and to operational management issues. While not specifically written for remote sensing scientists, it will prove to be a useful reference for this community for the current status of aquatic coastal remote sensing.
