Evaluating UAV LiDAR and Field Spectroscopy for Estimating Residual Dry Matter Across Conservation Grazing Lands by Bruce Markman, H. Scott Butterfield, Janet Franklin, Lloyd Coulter, Moses Katkowski, Daniel Sousa

“…The spectral indices did not correlate with the RDM (R² < 0.1), likely due to complete areal coverage with dense grass. The LiDAR canopy height models performed better for all the samples (R² = 0.37), with much stronger performance (R² = 0.81) when using a stratified model to predict the RDM in plots with predominantly standing (as opposed to laying) vegetation. …”
