英国的高地沼地形成了具有国际重要保护意义的独特景观，包括石南地、酸性草地、毯状沼泽和蕨类植物。这里的大部分景观都是通过循环燃烧来创造野鸟栖息地的，人们担心这是否会导致高地植被群落的长期变化。然而，高地的不可达性和规模意味着监测植被和燃烧方式的变化是困难的。我们的目标是通过开发方法将航空图像分类为主要植被覆盖的高分辨率地图，包括管理松鸡荒野上烧伤的分布，来克服这个问题。
Aim The upland moorlands of Great Britain form distinctive landscapes of international conservation importance, comprising mosaics of heathland, acid grassland, blanket bog and bracken. Much of this landscape is managed by rotational burning to create gamebird habitat and there is concern over whether this is driving long‐term changes in upland vegetation communities. However, the inaccessibility and scale of uplands means that monitoring changes in vegetation and burning practices is difficult. We aim to overcome this problem by developing methods to classify aerial imagery into high‐resolution maps of dominant vegetation cover, including the distribution of burns on managed grouse moors.
