LiDAR, UAS imaging, spraying and seeding enhance vegetation and asset management projects in sensitive forest habitat and disturbance zones requiring rapid assessment and mitigation. We explore four applications in 1) utilities and urban lands 2) high-elevation five-needle pines 3) woodpeckers and salvage logging and 4) postfire hydrogeomorphology.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the applications and advantages of UAS and remote sensing methods for vegetation and asset management
Review examples of UAS and remote sensing projects and consider how these technologies can improve management goals
Identify the characteristics of a feasible UAS or remote sensing mission in support of a vegetation or asset management project
Envision a project or study design utilizing UAS or remote sensing methods to support a vegetation or asset management project
