Multi-source remote sensing data reveals complex topsoil organic carbon dynamics in coastal wetlands
(2022-10-01)
Coastal wetlands are considered important stores of blue carbon, containing some of the largest stores of pedologic and biotic carbon per unit area on the planet. These ecosystems are however highly sensitive to Climate ...
A tale of two protected areas: “value and nature conservation” in comparable national parks in Estonia and Russia
(2021-03-01)
This study explores how local communities reflect on institutional frameworks and protected area governance in two national parks (NPs) with similar nature values in Estonia and Russia, and aims to understand the role of ...
An evaluation of the effects of uas flight parameters on digital aerial photogrammetry processing and dense-cloud production quality in a scots pine forest
(2021-03-02)
The application of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in forest research includes a wide range of equipment, systems, and flight settings, creating a need for enhancing data acquisition efficiency and quality. Thus, we assessed ...
Experimental climate change impacts on Baltic coastal wetland plant communities.
(2022-11-27)
Coastal wetlands provide a range of important ecosystem services, yet they are under threat from a range of stressors including climate change. This is predominantly as a result of alterations to the hydroregime and ...
The Potential of Optical UAS Data for Predicting Surface Soil Moisture in a Peatland across Time and Sites
(2022-05-01)
Advances in unmanned aerial systems (UASs) have increased the potential of remote sensing to overcome scale issues for soil moisture (SM) quantification. Regardless, optical imagery is acquired using various sensors and ...
A novel UAV-based approach for biomass prediction and grassland structure assessment in coastal meadows
(2021-03-01)
Coastal meadows provide a wide range of ecosystem services worldwide. In order to better target conservation efforts in these ecosystems, it is necessary to develop highly accurate models that account for the spatial nature ...
Machine learning classification and accuracy assessment from high-resolution images of coastal wetlands
(2021-09-01)
High-resolution images obtained by multispectral cameras mounted on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are helping to capture the heterogeneity of the environment in images that can be discretized in categories during a ...
Socio-economic effects of national park governance and management: Lessons from post-socialist era Estonia
(2021-11-01)
Despite the significant increase in protected territory globally, there is a common understanding that the designation of protected areas alone does not guarantee their effectiveness nor halt the loss of biodiversity. In ...
