| Summary: | The aim is to design and automate technology for monitoring the spread and the effectiveness of different managements of selected invasive/expansive plant species using advanced Earth observation (EO) methods. Partial goals: 1. To acquire at different dates (ideal/not ideal in terms of phenology) multispectral UAV data with very high spatial resolution and botanical reference data for sites with stands of the monitored species in the Krkonše Mts. and the Orlické Mts. 2. To test the reliability of mapping invasive/expansive plants using EO for (a) effective distribution monitoring and (b) controlling the effectivity of different managements (grazing, mowing, chemical treatment, mulching), to propose a verified technology and its implementation including an automated data processinng tool. |
