Forest floor temperature and greenness link significantly to canopy attributes in South Africa’s fragmented coastal forests

2018-09-04

Abstract excerpt

Tropical landscapes are changing rapidly due to changes in land use and land management. Being able to predict and monitor land use change impacts on species for conservation or food security concerns requires the use of habitat quality metrics, that are consistent, can be mapped using above - ground sensor data and are relevant for species performance. Here, we focus on ground surface temperature ( Thermal grou...
