Because tree mortality is a spatially and temporally erratic process, rates and spatial patterns of tree mortality are difficult to estimate with traditional inventory methods. Remote sensing imagery has the potential to detect tree mortality at spatial scales required for accurately characterizing this process (e.g., landscape, region). Many efforts have been made in this sense, mostly using pixel- or object-based methods. In this study, we explored the potential of deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to detect and map tree health status and functional type over entire regions. To do this, we built a database of around 290,000 photo-interpreted trees that served to extract and label image windows from 20 cm-resolution digital aerial images, for use in CNN training and evaluation. In this process, we also evaluated the effect of window size and spectral channel selection on classification accuracy, and we assessed if multiple realizations of a CNN, generated using different weight initializations, can be aggregated to provide more robust predictions. Finally, we extended our model with 5 additional classes to account for the diversity of landcovers found in our study area. When predicting tree health status only (live or dead), we obtained test accuracies of up to 94%, and up to 86% when predicting functional type only (broadleaf or needleleaf). Channel selection had a limited impact on overall classification accuracy, while window size increased the ability of the CNNs to predict plant functional type. The aggregation of multiple realizations of a CNN allowed us to avoid the selection of suboptimal models and help to remove much of the speckle effect when predicting on new aerial images. Test accuracies of plant functional type and health status were not affected in the extended model and were all above 95% for the 5 extra classes. Our results demonstrate the robustness of the CNN for between-scene variations in aerial photography and also suggest that this approach can be applied at operational level to map tree mortality across extensive territories.

In Canada, the widely distributed balsam fir (Abies balsamea L. (Mill)) and black spruce (Picea mariana B.S.P. (Mill)) are its most important hosts. Defoliation by SBW reduces growth in the host trees and can lead to host mortality. Although SBW impacts on growth are well documented, much less is known about changes in wood properties resulting from defoliation. To address this knowledge gap, we sampled 36 SBW-infested stands located in the boreal forest of Quebec (Canada) to determine whether defoliation modifies the wood quality of affected trees. The selected stands had been subjected to one to four years of SBW defoliation. For both species, we assessed ring growth, wood density, and the anatomical characteristics of stem wood formed during the outbreak years. We determined that rings formed during the SBW outbreak had a significant and progressive loss of biomass production with a longer duration of defoliation. SBW significantly reduced latewood density in the second and third year of defoliation for black spruce and the third and fourth year for balsam fir. Average ring density was reduced only in black spruce and only after four years of defoliation. The observed changes in growth and density were associated with changes in anatomical features. While the cellular characteristics of the earlywood remained fairly constant, significant reductions occurred in latewood cell-wall thickness after three years of defoliation. Our study shows that not only do SBW outbreaks reduce annual radial growth, but the cellular characteristics in latewood cells are also modified momentarily. Thus, SBW outbreaks affect wood density and quality in both black spruce and balsam fir.

Towards operational marker-free registration of terrestrial lidar data in forests / Jean-François Tremblay in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, vol 146 (December 2018)

Combining measurements from multiple locations requires accurate co-registration of the scans to a common reference coordinate system, which currently relies on markers, an often cumbersome process in forests. Existing algorithms for achieving marker-free registration of TLS scans in forests promise to significantly decrease field work time, but are not yet operational and their results have not been validated against traditional methods. Here we present a new implementation of an existing approach which runs in parallel mode and is able to process TLS data acquired over large forest areas. To validate our algorithm, point cloud registration matrices (translation and rotation) derived from our algorithm were compared to those obtained using reflective markers in multiple forest types. The results show that our approach can be used operationally in forests with relatively clear understory, and it provides accuracy similar to that obtained from using reflective markers. Furthermore, we identified factors that can lead to this approach falling short of providing acceptable results in terms of accuracy.

Parametric bootstrap estimators for hybrid inference in forest inventories / Mathieu Fortin in Forestry, an international journal of forest research, vol 91 n° 3 (July 2018)  

Public [article]  inForestry, an international journal of forest research > vol 91 n° 3 (July 2018) . - pp 354 - 365 Titre : Parametric bootstrap estimators for hybrid inference in forest inventories Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Mathieu Fortin, Auteur ; Ruben Manso, Auteur ; Robert Schneider, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 354 - 365 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes descripteurs IGN] Bootstrap (statistique) [Termes descripteurs IGN] complexité [Termes descripteurs IGN] erreur systématique [Termes descripteurs IGN] inférence statistique [Termes descripteurs IGN] inventaire forestier (techniques et méthodes) [Termes descripteurs IGN] inventaire forestier étranger (données) [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes descripteurs IGN] Québec (Canada) [Termes descripteurs IGN] variance [Vedettes matières IGN] Inventaire forestier Résumé : (Auteur) In forestry, the variable of interest is not always directly available from forest inventories. Consequently, practitioners have to rely on models to obtain predictions of this variable of interest. This context leads to hybrid inference, which is based on both the probability design and the model. Unfortunately, the current analytical hybrid estimators for the variance of the point estimator are mainly based on linear or nonlinear models and their use is limited when the model reaches a high level of complexity. An alternative consists of using a variance estimator based on resampling methods (Rubin, D. B. (1987). Multiple imputation for nonresponse surveys. John Wiley & Sons, Hoboken, New Jersey, USA). However, it turns out that a parametric bootstrap (BS) estimator of the variance can be biased in contexts of hybrid inference. In this study, we designed and tested a corrected BS estimator for the variance of the point estimator, which can easily be implemented as long as all of the stochastic components of the model can be properly simulated. Like previous estimators, this corrected variance estimator also makes it possible to distinguish the contribution of the sampling and the model to the variance of the point estimator. The results of three simulation studies of increasing complexity showed no evidence of bias for this corrected variance estimator, which clearly outperformed the BS variance estimator used in previous studies. Since the implementation of this corrected variance estimator is not much more complicated, we recommend its use in contexts of hybrid inference based on complex models.

Five years of continuous observations at fourteen cGPS sites were analyzed using Bernese GPS processing software. Several different sub-networks were chosen from these stations, and the data were processed and compared to in order to select the optimal configuration to accurately estimate the vertical and horizontal station velocities and minimize the associated errors. The coordinate time series were then compared to the crustal motions from global solutions and the optimized solution is presented here. A noise analysis model with power-law and white noise, which best describes the noise characteristics of all three components, was employed for the GPS time series analysis. The linear trend, associated uncertainties, and the spectral index of the power-law noise were calculated using a maximum likelihood estimation approach. The residual horizontal velocities, after removal of rigid plate motion, have a magnitude consistent with expected glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). The vertical velocities increase from subsidence of almost 1.9 mm/year south of the Great Lakes to uplift near Hudson Bay, where the highest rate is approximately 10.9 mm/year. The residual horizontal velocities range from approximately 0.5 mm/year, oriented south–southeastward, at the Great Lakes to nearly 1.5 mm/year directed toward the interior of Hudson Bay at stations adjacent to its shoreline. Here, the velocity uncertainties are estimated at less than 0.6 mm/year for the horizontal component and 1.1 mm/year for the vertical component. A comparison between the observed velocities and GIA model predictions, for a limited range of Earth models, shows a better fit to the observations for the Earth model with the smallest upper mantle viscosity and the largest lower mantle viscosity. However, the pattern of horizontal deformation is not well explained in the north, along Hudson Bay, suggesting that revisions to the ice thickness history are needed to improve the fit to observations.
