Indeed, a multitude of plant and animal species depend on forest structural maturity attributes such as very large living trees and deadwood. LiDAR technology has proved to be powerful when assessing forest structural parameters, and it may be a promising way to identify existing overmature forest patches over large areas. We first built an index (IMAT) combining several forest structural maturity attributes in order to characterize the structural maturity of 660 field plots in the French northern Pre-Alps. We then selected or developed LiDAR metrics and applied them in a random forest model designed to predict the IMAT. Model performance was evaluated with the root mean square error of prediction obtained from a bootstrap cross-validation and a Spearman correlation coefficient calculated between observed and predicted IMAT. Predictors were ranked by importance based on the average increase in the squared out-of-bag error when the variable was randomly permuted. Despite a non-negligible RMSEP (0.85 for calibration and validation data combined and 1.26 for validation data alone), we obtained a high correlation (0.89) between the observed and predicted IMAT values, indicating an accurate ranking of the field plots. LiDAR metrics for height (maximum height and height heterogeneity) were among the most important metrics for predicting forest maturity, together with elevation, slope and, to a lesser extent, with metrics describing the distribution of echoes' intensities. Our framework makes it possible to reconstruct a forest maturity gradient and isolate maturity hot spots. Nevertheless, our approach could be considerably strengthened by taking into consideration site fertility, collecting other maturity attributes in the field or developing adapted LiDAR metrics. Including additional spectral or textural metrics from optical imagery might also improve the predictive capacity of the model.

However, the interactions between regional climate conditions and species-mixing effects on climate-growth relationships and drought resistance remain poorly documented. In this study, we investigated the patterns of species-mixing effects over a large gradient of environmental conditions throughout Europe for European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), two species with contrasted ecological traits. We hypothesized that across large geographical scales, the difference of climate-growth relationships and drought resistance between pure and mixed stands would be dependent on regional climate. We used tree ring chronologies derived from 1143 beech and 1164 pine trees sampled in 30 study sites, each composed of one mixed stand of beech and pine and of the two corresponding pure stands located in similar site conditions. For each site and stand, we used Bootstrapped Correlation Coefficients (BCCs) on standardized chronologies and growth reduction during drought years on raw chronologies to analyze the difference in climate-tree growth relationships and resistance to drought between pure and mixed stands. We found consistent large-scale spatial patterns of climate-growth relationships. Those patterns were similar for both species. With the exception of the driest climates where pure and mixed beech stands tended to display differences in growth correlation with the main climatic drivers, the mixing effects on the BCCs were highly variable, resulting in the lack of a coherent response to mixing. No consistent species-mixing effect on drought resistance was found within and across climate zones. On average, mixing had no significant effect on drought resistance for neither species, yet it increased pine resistance in sites with higher climatic water balance in autumn. Also, beech and pine most often differed in the timing of their drought response within similar sites, irrespective of the regional climate, which might increase the temporal stability of growth in mixed compared to pure stands. Our results showed that the impact of species mixing on tree response to climate did not strongly differ between groups of sites with distinct climate characteristics and climate-growth relationships, indicating the interacting influences of species identity, stand characteristics, drought events characteristics as well as local site conditions.

Public [article]  inEuropean Journal of Forest Research > vol 141 n° 3 (June 2022) . - pp 447 - 465 Titre : Analysis of structure from motion and airborne laser scanning features for the evaluation of forest structure Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Alejandro Rodríguez-Vivancos, Auteur ; José Antonio Manzanera, Auteur ; Susana Martín-Fernández, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 447 - 465 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications photogrammétriques [Termes IGN] analyse de variance [Termes IGN] Bootstrap (statistique) [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] données localisées 3D [Termes IGN] erreur d'échantillon [Termes IGN] Espagne [Termes IGN] forêt inéquienne [Termes IGN] inventaire forestier étranger (données) [Termes IGN] lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] modèle de régression [Termes IGN] modèle numérique de terrain [Termes IGN] Pinus sylvestris [Termes IGN] régression linéaire [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] structure d'un peuplement forestier [Termes IGN] structure-from-motion Résumé : (auteur) Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) is widely extended in forest evaluation, although photogrammetry-based Structure from Motion (SfM) has recently emerged as a more affordable alternative. Return cloud metrics and their normalization using different typologies of Digital Terrain Models (DTM), either derived from SfM or from private or free access ALS, were evaluated. In addition, the influence of the return density (0.5–6.5 returns m-2) and the sampling intensity (0.3–3.4%) on the estimation of the most common stand structure variables were also analysed. The objective of this research is to gather all these questions in the same document, so that they serve as support for the planning of forest management. This study analyses the variables collected from 60 regularly distributed circular plots (r = 18 m) in a 150-ha of uneven-aged Scots pine stand. Results indicated that both ALS and SfM can be equally used to reduce the sampling error in the field inventories, but they showed differences when estimating the stand structure variables. ALS produced significantly better estimations than the SfM metrics for all the variables of interest, as well as the ALS-based normalization. However, the SfM point cloud produced better estimations when it was normalized with its own DTM, except for the dominant height. The return density did not have significant influence on the estimation of the stand structure variables in the range studied, while higher sampling intensities decreased the estimation errors. Nevertheless, these were stabilized at certain intensities depending on the variance of the stand structure variable.

Performance investigation of LAMBDA and bootstrapping methods for PPP narrow-lane ambiguity resolution / Omer Faruk Atiz in Geo-spatial Information Science, vol 24 n° 4 (October 2021)  

Public [article]  inGeo-spatial Information Science > vol 24 n° 4 (October 2021) . - ppp 604 - 614 Titre : Performance investigation of LAMBDA and bootstrapping methods for PPP narrow-lane ambiguity resolution Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Omer Faruk Atiz, Auteur ; Sermet Ogutcu, Auteur ; Salih Alcay, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : ppp 604 - 614 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] Bootstrap (statistique) [Termes IGN] compensation Lambda [Termes IGN] coordonnées GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] traitement de données GNSS Résumé : (auteur) Precise point positioning with ambiguity resolution (PPP-AR) is a powerful tool for geodetic and time-constrained applications that require high precision. The performance of PPP-AR highly depends on the reliability of the correct integer carrier-phase ambiguity estimation. In this study, the performance of narrow-lane ambiguity resolution of PPP using the Least-squares AMBiguity Decorrelation (LAMBDA) and bootstrapping methods is extensively investigated using real data from 55 IGS stations over one-month in 2020. Static PPP with 24-, 12-, 8-, 4-, 2-, 1- and ½-h sessions using two different cutoff angles (7° and 30°) was conducted with three PPP modes: i.e. ambiguity-float and two kinds of ambiguity-fixed PPP using the LAMBDA and bootstrapping methods for narrow-lane AR, respectively. The results show that the LAMBDA method can produce more reliable results for 2 hour and shorter observation sessions compared with the bootstrapping method using a 7° cutoff angle. For a 30° cutoff angle, the LAMBDA method outperforms the bootstrapping method for observation sessions of 4 h and less. For long observation times, the bootstrapping method produced much more accurate coordinates compared with the LAMBDA method without considering the wrong fixes cases. The results also show that occurrences of fixing the wrong integer ambiguities using the bootstrapping method are higher than that of the LAMBDA method.

3D map creation using crowdsourced GNSS data / Terence Lines in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, vol 89 (September 2021)

However, creating 3D maps and keeping them up-to-date using existing technologies, such as laser scanners, is expensive. This paper proposes and implements a novel approach to generate 2.5D (otherwise known as 3D level-of-detail (LOD) 1) maps for free using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals, which are globally available and are blocked only by obstacles between the satellites and the receivers. This enables us to find the patterns of GNSS signal availability and create 3D maps. The paper applies algorithms to GNSS signal strength patterns based on a boot-strapped technique that iteratively trains the signal classifiers while generating the map. Results of the proposed technique demonstrate the ability to create 3D maps using automatically processed GNSS data. The results show that the third dimension, i.e. height of the buildings, can be estimated with below 5 metre accuracy, which is the benchmark recommended by the CityGML standard.
