Journal ArticleDOI
Errors in LiDAR-derived shrub height and crown area on sloped terrain
Nancy F. Glenn,Lucas P. Spaete,Temuulen T. Sankey,DeWayne Derryberry,Stuart P. Hardegree,Jessica J. Mitchell +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and tested four methods for shrub height measurements with airborne LiDAR data in a semiarid shrub-steppe in southwestern Idaho, USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landsat 8 and ICESat-2: Performance and potential synergies for quantifying dryland ecosystem vegetation cover and biomass
Nancy F. Glenn,Amy L. Neuenschwander,Lee A. Vierling,Lucas P. Spaete,Aihua Li,Douglas J. Shinneman,David S. Pilliod,Robert S. Arkle,Susan K. McIlroy +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the strengths of Landsat 8's Operational Land Imager (OLI) in estimating vegetation structure in a dryland ecosystem, and compare these results to Landsat 5's Thematic Mapper (TM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetation and slope effects on accuracy of a LiDAR-derived DEM in the sagebrush steppe
Lucas P. Spaete,Nancy F. Glenn,DeWayne Derryberry,Temuulen T. Sankey,Jessica J. Mitchell,Stuart P. Hardegree +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the errors associated with vegetation cover type and slope in a LiDAR derived digital elevation model (DEM) in a semiarid environment in southwest Idaho, USA were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating vegetation biomass and cover across large plots in shrub and grass dominated drylands using terrestrial lidar and machine learning
Kyle E. Anderson,Nancy F. Glenn,Lucas P. Spaete,Douglas J. Shinneman,David S. Pilliod,Robert S. Arkle,Susan K. McIlroy,DeWayne Derryberry +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used TLS scans of 26 1-ha plots in desert grasslands and big sagebrush shrublands in southwest Idaho, USA to model and map canopy cover and biomass of several classes of short-stature vegetation across large plots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lidar Aboveground Vegetation Biomass Estimates in Shrublands: Prediction, Uncertainties and Application to Coarser Scales
Aihua Li,Shital Dhakal,Nancy F. Glenn,Lucas P. Spaete,Douglas J. Shinneman,David S. Pilliod,Robert S. Arkle,Susan K. McIlroy +7 more
TL;DR: Using the model results, spatially-explicit Lidar estimates of total and shrub biomass across the study site in the Great Basin, U.S.A., are developed for monitoring and planning in this imperiled ecosystem.
