Using unmanned aerial vehicles to estimate body volume at scale for ecological monitoring by Thomas C. Stone, Katrina J. Davis

“…We investigate the optimal ground sampling distance (GSD) for surveys by calculating the success rates and accuracy of volume estimates of individuals at different altitudes. Based on current technology, we establish an optimal GSD of at least 0.8 cm px−1 for animals similar in size to UK grey seals (~1.2–2.5 m length), making our method reproducible and applicable to other species. …”

Vegetation Change and Its Response to Climate Change in Yunnan Province, China by Huaizhang Sun, Jiyan Wang, Junnan Xiong, Jinhu Bian, Huaan Jin, Weiming Cheng, Ainong Li

“…The results indicate that (1) the temporal variation of the NDVI showed that the NDVI values of different vegetation types increased at different rates, especially in growing season, spring, and autumn; (2) for spatial patterns, the NDVI, CV, and NDVI trends had strong spatial heterogeneity owning to the influence of altitudes, slopes, and aspects; and (3) the concurrent effect of vegetation on climate change indicates that the positive effect of temperature on NDVI was mainly in growing season and autumn, whereas spring NDVI was mainly influenced by precipitation. …”
