Funded Activity Summary

Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis of Native Vegetation Condition. Reversing the decline in the quality and extent of Australia's native vegetation is imperative. Site-based assessments of vegetation condition have many merits but are not practical for monitoring at regional, catchment or State levels. This research proposes an integrated approach to native vegetation assessment combining the synoptic overview of satellite based earth observation with the rigor of plot-based assessments. The outcomes will be an operationally feasible and quantitatively-based method for mapping vegetation condition in the context of biodiversity conservation, at a resolution that can inform decisions for managing native vegetation remnants, and at a scale that can inform regional decision-making.
