Title:
Ground cover monitoring for Australia - establishing a nationally coordinated approach to ground cover mappingWorkshop Proceedings, Canberra 23-24 November 2009
Publication Date:

Description:
Ground cover is the vegetation, biological crusts and stones in contact with the soil surface. It has a significant impact on the amount of soil redistributed or lost through wind and water erosion, on the biomass which contributes to soil carbon levels and the ability of vegetation to respond to rain after drought. Ground cover can be monitored directly through remote sensing. A workshop was held in Canberra (23-24 November 2009) to reach consensus on a nationally coordinated approach to ground cover mapping. Different approaches were presented for estimating ground cover using remote sensing. The issues surrounding validation of such remotely sensed products were also discussed. Discussions were guided by the user specifications for this product
