Remotely sensed forest water use in space and time

遥感森林水分利用的空间和时间。该项目旨在开发和应用新方法，利用地块一级的年蒸散量与无人驾驶飞机系统和其他遥感平台可探测到的林分生物物理和生物化学特性之间的关系，将森林用水量从地块一级扩大到集水区一级。澳大利亚的水安全取决于了解森林的变化如何从干扰和气候变化影响集水产量。该项目将估计在未测量的集水区和受干扰的桉树林随时间和空间的水量。这项研究预计将使更有效的风险缓解和规划的扩增;改进火灾管理战略;和更好的水管理的墨累达令盆地。

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.
