UAV-Based Estimate of Snow Cover Dynamics: Optimizing Semi-Arid Forest Structure for Snow Persistence

Seasonal snow cover in the dry forests of the American West provides essential water resources to both human and natural systems. The structure of trees and their arrangement across the landscape are important drivers of snow cover distribution …

Quantifying snow cover and persistence in a post restoration environment: UAV-derived forest structure data and forest gap radiation modeling

Snow cover and persistence are important drivers of late spring and early summer water availability in forest ecosystems. The structure and orientation of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forest patches and interspaces regulate the localized net …
