Assessment of the mapping of fractional woody cover in southern African savannas using multi-temporal and polarimetric ALOS PALSAR L-band images

Urbazaev, Mikhail; Thiel, Christian; Mathieu, Renaud; Naidoo, Laven; Levick, Shaun R.; Smit, Izak P.J.; Asner, Gregory P.; Schmullius, Christiane (Elsevier, 2015-09)

Woody vegetation cover affects several ecosystem processes including carbon and water cycling, energy fluxes, and fire regimes. In order to understand the dynamics of savanna ecosystems, information on the spatial ...
Hyper-temporal C-band SAR for baseline woody structural assessments in deciduous savannas

Main, Russell; Mathieu, Renaud; Kleynhans, Waldo; Wessels, K.J. (Konrad); Naidoo, Laven; Asner, Gregory P. (MDPI Publishing, 2016-08-17)

Savanna ecosystems and their woody vegetation provide valuable resources and ecosystem services. Locally calibrated and cost effective estimates of these resources are required in order to satisfy commitments to monitor ...
L-band synthetic aperture radar imagery performs better than optical datasets at retrieving woody fractional cover in deciduous, dry savannahs

Naidoo, Laven; Mathieu, Renaud; Main, Russell; Wessels, K.J. (Konrad); Asner, Gregory P. (Elsevier, 2016-10)

Woody canopy cover (CC) is the simplesttwo dimensional metric for assessing the presence ofthe woody component in savannahs, but detailed validated maps are not currently available in southern African savannahs. A number ...
Mapping and monitoring fractional woody vegetation cover in the arid savannas of Namibia using LiDAR training data, machine learning, and ALOS PALSAR data

Wessels, Konrad; Mathieu, Renaud; Knox, Nichola; Main, Russell; Naidoo, Laven; Steenkamp, Karen (MDPI Publishing, 2019-11-11)

Namibia is a very arid country, which has experienced significant bush encroachment and associated decreased livestock productivity. Therefore, it is essential to monitor bush encroachment and widespread debushing ...
Savannah woody structure modelling and mapping using multi-frequency (X-, C- and L-band) synthetic aperture radar data

Naidoo, Laven; Mathieu, Renaud; Main, Russell; Kleynhans, Waldo; Wessels, K.J. (Konrad); Asner, Gregory P.; Leblon, Brigitte (Elsevier, 2015-07)

Structural parameters of the woody component in African savannahs provide estimates of carbon stocks that are vital to the understanding of fuelwood reserves, which is the primary source of energy for 90% of households ...
