Abstract:
Objectives:
To assess leaf-off, high resolution colour infra-red (CIR) airborne digital
camera imagery for estimating above-ground tree biomass; crop tree canopy
closure, crop tree species identification for areas of mixed spruce and
pine; total leaf area index (crop and competition); stocking/density;
and, woody-stem competition abundance (i.e. need to treat) and plantation
success.
Location:
Northern Ontario
Key Deliverables:
Papers- Regeneration Assessment using High-resolution CIR Digital Camera
Imaging; Leaf-off, High Resolution Digital Camera Imagery for Forest Regeneration
Effort; Leaf-off, High-resolution CIR Digital Camera Imagery for the Silvicultural
Assessment of Regenerating Conifers. Report- Early Regeneration Conifer
Identification and Competition Cover Assessment using Airborne Digital
Camera Imagery.
Expected Benefits:
A low-cost, effective way to assess regeneration success of plantations
and competition cover.
