Wetlands are some of the most important ecosystems on Earth. They play a key role in
alleviating floods and filtering polluted water and also provide habitats for many plants and …

Coastal marshes are considered to be among the most valuable and vulnerable ecosystems
on Earth, where the imminent loss of ecosystem services is a feared consequence of sea …

• Premise of the study: Near‐future climate changes are likely to elicit major vegetation
changes. Disequilibrium dynamics, which occur when vegetation comes out of equilibrium …

At landscape and regional scales topography is recognized as one of the most important
determinants of vascular plant diversity, primarily due to the influence of mountains. As …

Accelerating sea‐level rise and decreasing riverine sediment supply are widely considered
to lead to global losses of deltaic marshes and their valuable ecosystem services. However …

Grasslands are recognized as biodiversity hotspots in Europe. However, protection and
management of these habitats are currently constrained by a limited understanding of what …

Accurate mapping of both elevation and plant distributions in salt marshes is important for
management and conservation goals. Although light detection and ranging (LIDAR) is …

This study evaluates the skills of two types of drone-based point clouds, derived from LiDAR
and photogrammetric techniques, in estimating ground elevation, vegetation height, and …

Topography is recognized as an important factor in controlling plant distribution and diversity
patterns, but its scale dependence and the underlying mechanisms by which it operates are …

High spatial resolution mapping of natural resources is much needed for monitoring and
management of species, habitats and landscapes. Generally, detailed surveillance has …
