To achieve this objective, Landsat series data collected before and after community involvement in biodiversity conservation were used in conjunction with selected diversity indices i.e., Shannon-Wiener Index (H’) and Simpson Index (D). Thirty 15 m × 15 m field plots were selected and all trees within each plot were identified, with the help of Botanists. Further, we applied regression analysis to determine the relationship between satellite derived tree species diversity and field observations. The results of the study demonstrated a significant (p  Numéro de notice : A2022-052 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : BIODIVERSITE/FORET/IMAGERIE Nature : Article DOI : 10.1080/10106049.2020.1723717 Date de publication en ligne : 16/04/2020 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1080/10106049.2020.1723717 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=99443 [article]

Public [article]  inGeocarto international > vol 35 n° 16 [01/12/2020] . - pp 1832 - 1849 Titre : Exploring the inclusion of Sentinel-2 MSI texture metrics in above-ground biomass estimation in the community forest of Nepal Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Santa Pandit, Auteur ; Satoshi Tsuyuki, Auteur ; Timothy Dube, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 1832 - 1849 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] analyse multibande [Termes IGN] analyse texturale [Termes IGN] apprentissage automatique [Termes IGN] biomasse aérienne [Termes IGN] classification par forêts d'arbres décisionnels [Termes IGN] forêt [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] indice de végétation [Termes IGN] Népal Résumé : (auteur) The potential of the improved resolution Sentinel-2 MSI data was explored through texture metrics, vegetation indices (VIs) and pooled dataset using the Random Forest (RF) machine learning algorithm to estimate Above-ground Biomass (AGB) in a sub-tropical forest of Nepal. Texture metrics were derived based on different working window sizes (3 × 3, 5 × 5, 7 × 7 and 9 × 9), and the results were compared with those obtained, using raw traditional bands (Analysis set 1: 2, 3, 4, 8, 11 and 12), raw traditional and red edge bands (Analysis set 2: Set 1 + Band 5, 6, 7 and 8A), and red edge bands (Analysis set 3) only. Comparatively, the use of pooled data (texture and VIs) yielded higher biomass estimates. The results from pooled data based on the 7 × 7 window size resulted in models with better model fitting parameters. For instance, pooled data produced an R2 = 0.99 and a RMSE = 4.51 t ha−1 (relRMSE = 2.82). Further, the RF model selected dissimilarity, variance and mean from Band 2 and SAVI (Soil adjusted vegetation index) as the most important AGB predictor variables. The results demonstrated that like the red-edge bands, traditional bands were equally important in AGB estimation.

Estimating forest standing biomass in savanna woodlands as an indicator of forest productivity using the new generation WorldView-2 sensor / Timothy Dube in Geocarto international, vol 33 n° 2 (February 2018)  

Public [article]  inGeocarto international > vol 33 n° 2 (February 2018) . - pp 178 - 188 Titre : Estimating forest standing biomass in savanna woodlands as an indicator of forest productivity using the new generation WorldView-2 sensor Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Timothy Dube, Auteur ; Tawanda W.

Besides, dendrometric traits information is critical in assessing the healthy and the spatial planning of fragile ecosystems, such as the savanna dry forests. The aim of this work was to test whether red-edge spectral data derived from WorldView-2 multispectral imagery improve biomass estimation in savanna dry forests. The results of this study have shown that biomass estimation using all Worldview-2 raw spectral bands without the red-edge band yielded low estimation accuracies (R2 of 0.67 and a RMSE-CV of 2.2 t ha−1) when compared to when the red-edge band was included as a co-variate (R2 of 0.73 and a RMSE-CV of 2.04 t ha−1). Also, similar results were obseved when all WorldView-2 vegetation indices (without the red-edge computed ones), producing slightly low accuracies (R2 of about 0.67 and a RMSE-CV of 2.20 t ha−1), when compared to those obtained using all indices and RE-computed indices(R2 of 0.76 and a RMSE-CV of 1.88 t ha−1). Overall, the findings of this work have demontrated the potential and importance of strategically positioned bands, such as the red-edge band in the optimal estimation of indigeonus forest biomass. These results underscores the need to shift towards embracing sensors with unique and strategeically positioned bands, such as the forthcoming Sentinel 2 MSI and HysPIRI which have a global footprint.

Total evaporation estimation for accurate water accounting purposes: an appraisal of various available estimation methods / Cletah Shoko in Geocarto international, vol 32 n° 12 (December 2017)  

Public [article]  inGeocarto international > vol 32 n° 12 (December 2017) . - pp 1333 - 1351 Titre : Total evaporation estimation for accurate water accounting purposes: an appraisal of various available estimation methods Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Cletah Shoko, Auteur ; Timothy Dube, Auteur ; David Clark, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 1333 - 1351 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] estimation statistique [Termes IGN] evaporation [Termes IGN] télédétection Résumé : (Auteur) The estimation of total evaporation is fundamental for water accounting, considering its influence on water availability. Moreover, the current increase in water consumption (e.g. in sub-Saharan Africa and the world over), land cover/use changes, deteriorating water quality and the climate change projections in most regions of the world underscore the need to understand water loss. So far, different approaches have been developed and implemented in estimating the variations of total evaporation, with varying accuracies. The aim of this work was therefore, to provide a review of these different approaches for estimating total evaporation, as well as a detailed discussion of their strengths and weaknesses. Findings from this review have shown that total evaporation estimates derived, using ground-based meteorological and micro-meteorological methods are inadequate for representing its large-scale spatial variations. On the other hand, remote sensing technology, which acquires data at different resolutions (i.e. radiometric, spectral, spatial and temporal), provides timely, up-to-date and relatively accurate spatial estimates of total evaporation over large geographic coverage, for sustainable and effective water accounting, which is key for well-informed and improved management of water resources at both catchment and regional scales. In this regard, more details on the remote sensing-based methods of estimating total evaporation are provided, especially considering the robust technological advancements and its potential in characterizing earth features over time and space. This work has also managed to identify research gaps and challenges in the accurate estimation of total evaporation, using remote sensing, especially with the emergence of more advanced sensors and the characteristics of the landscape.

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > vol 132 (October 2017) . - pp 162 - 169 Titre : Stand-volume estimation from multi-source data for coppiced and high forest Eucalyptus spp. silvicultural systems in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Timothy Dube, Auteur ; Mbulisi Sibanda, Auteur ; Cletah Shoko, Auteur ; Onisimo Mutanga, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 162 - 169 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] cubage de peuplement [Termes IGN] données auxiliaires [Termes IGN] écosystème forestier [Termes IGN] Eucalyptus camaldulensis [Termes IGN] image SPOT 5 [Termes IGN] KwaZulu-Natal (Afrique du Sud) [Termes IGN] peuplement forestier [Termes IGN] régression [Termes IGN] taillis Résumé : (Auteur) Forest stand volume is one of the crucial stand parameters, which influences the ability of these forests to provide ecosystem goods and services. This study thus aimed at examining the potential of integrating multispectral SPOT 5 image, with ancillary data (forest age and rainfall metrics) in estimating stand volume between coppiced and planted Eucalyptus spp. in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. To achieve this objective, Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) algorithm was used. The PLSR algorithm was implemented by applying three tier analysis stages: stage I: using ancillary data as an independent dataset, stage II: SPOT 5 spectral bands as an independent dataset and stage III: combined SPOT 5 spectral bands and ancillary data. The results of the study showed that the use of an independent ancillary dataset better explained the volume of Eucalyptus spp. growing from coppices (adjusted R2 (R2Adj) = 0.54, RMSEP = 44.08 m3/ha), when compared with those that were planted (R2Adj = 0.43, RMSEP = 53.29 m3/ha). Similar results were also observed when SPOT 5 spectral bands were applied as an independent dataset, whereas improved volume estimates were produced when using combined dataset. For instance, planted Eucalyptus spp. were better predicted adjusted R2 (R2Adj) = 0.77, adjusted R2Adj = 0.59, RMSEP = 36.02 m3/ha) when compared with those that grow from coppices (R2 = 0.76, R2Adj = 0.46, RMSEP = 40.63 m3/ha). Overall, the findings of this study demonstrated the relevance of multi-source data in ecosystems modelling.
