Advanced airborne technologies for mapping and monitoring native Australian vegetation

Airborne sensors can be used by natural resource managers and researchers to collect data about things which can be seen, such as vegetation cover, as well as characteristics like canopy condition and water use, which are not visible. Importantly, faster and more accurate data collection over large areas can be achieved by combining light detection and ranging (lidar) with other airborne technologies which include multi and hyper spectral scanners, digital video and still photography. Lidar can be (more)...

Pinus radiata in Bushland: Assessing the issue in the Green Triangle

Pinus radiata has recognised weed potential both in Australia and overseas. Research to date has demonstrated its invasive potential and its ability to alter structure and species composition of native vegetation. The impetus for this project came largely
