How much water does a woodland or plantation use: a review of some measurement methods

Determining the water balance of a landscape is important to sustainable management of water, vegetation and land resources. Water flow through vegetation is the principle pathway for the discharge of water from Australian landscapes. The rate of this discharge is determined by solar radiation, leaf area index, vapour pressure deficit and soil moisture content. Tree transpiration from plantations and native woodlands and forests is an important determinant of the water balance of much of the (more)...

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)...
