State-wide inter-annual changes to foliage projective cover: better products from higher resolution satellite imagery and improved processing methodologies

摘要

Landsat and SPOT5 imagery have been used to derive foliage projective cover (FPC) over the states of New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland (QLD). Year-to-year changes have been analysed based on satellite observations as far back as 1986. The products created provide stakeholders and decision makers with a solid information base relevant to vegetation management planning and compliance.
