Impact of communal land use and conservation on woody vegetation structure in the Lowveld savannas of South Africa – Lidar results

Author: Wessels, Konrad J ; Mathieu, Renaud SA ; Erasmus, BFN ; Asner, GP ; Smit, IPJ ; Van Aardt, JAN ; Main, Russell S ; Fisher, J Date: Apr 2011 People in the rural, communal areas of South Africa rely on live fuel wood for more than 90% of their energy requirements. Using airborne lidar from the Carnegie Airborne Observatory (CAO) the authors compared tree canopy cover and height ... Read more
Impacts of communal fuelwood extraction on lidar-estimated biomass patterns of savanna woodlands

Author: Wessels, Konrad J ; Erasmus, BFN ; Colgan, M ; Asner, GP ; Mathieu, Renaud SA ; Twine, W ; Van Aardt, JAN ; Smit, I Date: Jul 2012 Approximately 54% of rural households in South Africa continue to use wood as their main source of energy, mainly for cooking and heating. The provision of biomass by savanna woodlands is thus of considerable value to rural households and ... Read more
On using discrete return LIDAR distributions as a proxy for waveform LIDAR signals when modeling vegetation structure

Author: Van Aardt, JAN ; Wu, J ; McGlinchy, J ; Wessels, Konrad J ; Mathieu, Renaud SA ; Kennedy Bowdoin, T ; Knapp, DE ; Asner, GP Date: Jul 2012 The goals of the study were to (i) determine if there is a direct relationship between waveform LiDAR intensity-by-height and discrete return frequency-by-height (do the distributions match?) and (ii) assess the impact of scale (does this ...
