1: UAV-derived forest degradation assessments for planning and monitoring forest ecosystem restoration: towards a forest degradation index
ABSTRACT: Global initiatives such as the Bonn Challenge and the New York Declaration on Forests have prompted large-scale forest restoration projects to combat land degradation, preserve...
2: Locating and identifying seed tree species for forest restoration in northern Thailand using an unmanned aerial vehicle
ABSTRACT: Rapid and reliable location of seed trees of required species, within forest, is essential, if global forest restoration targets are to be achieved, e.g. the Bonn Challenge (forest...
3: Aerial robotics and forest management and seeding
ABSTRACT: Dronecoria is a reforestation project that uses customized DIY drones to disperse seeds (“dronechory”) in clay balls. Unlike traditional aerial seeding techniques, which often depend on...
4: Unmanned aerial vehicles for automated forest restoration
ABSTRACT: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been gaining in popularity and are used in many fields, including biodiversity conservation. They are currently available in many sizes and forms,...
5: Social, economic and legal issues of automated forest restoration
ABSTRACT: Practitioners often concentrate most on the technical aspects of forest restoration and less on the social aspects, whilst often ignoring legal aspects. Social considerations include...
6: A trait-based approach for selecting tree species for aerial seeding
ABSTRACT: We review recent ecological research on functional traits that can aid selection of tree species for restoration by aerial seeding. A major barrier in selecting species for restoration...
7: Innovation and robotics in forestry weed management
ABSTRACT: Traditional and established methods of weed management are outlined, from hand-weeding, to the use of herbicides and biological control. Recent new developments in detection and control...
8: Automating site assessments using data from UAVs
ABSTRACT: Much progress has been made in remotely detecting forest loss, particularly by using satellite imagery. However, quantification of different stages of forest degradation continues to be...
9: Basics of automated plant identification
ABSTRACT: Historically, image-based dichotomous plant identification keys precede text-based ones by nearly one hundred years. Having lain in conceptual torpor for over 300 years, the notion of...
10: Auto-monitoring wildlife recovery
ABSTRACT: Wildlife monitoring during forest restoration addresses such questions as: What species re-colonize or disappear from restored areas? How many individuals are present? What are the...
