Remotely sensed forest water use in space and time

遥感森林用水的空间和时间。该项目旨在开发和应用新的方法，利用无人机系统和其他遥感平台可探测到的样地年蒸散量与林分生物物理和生化特性之间的关系，从样地到集水区尺度化森林用水。澳大利亚的水安全取决于了解干扰和气候变化对森林的影响如何影响集水区的水量。该项目将估算受干扰桉树森林的未测量集水区随时间和空间的水量。预计这项研究将有助于更有效地减轻风险和规划增拨；改善消防管理策略；改善墨累达令盆地的水资源管理。

Remotely sensed forest water use in space and time. This project aims to develop and apply new methods to scale forest water use from plot to catchment-level, using relationships between plot-level annual evapotranspiration and biophysical and biochemical properties of stands detectable by unmanned aircraft systems and other remote sensing platforms. Australia's water security depends on understanding how changes in forests from disturbance and climate change influence catchment water yields. This project will estimate water yields over time and space in ungauged catchments with disturbed eucalypt forests. This research is expected to enable more effective risk mitigation and planning for augmentations; improved fire management strategies; and better water management of the Murray Darling Basin.
