| Abstract | |
The observations of the phases of plant life, known as phenology, made of traditional forms on ground does not allow the study in large areas, are laborious and consume very observant of time. On the other hand, the phenology made by digital cameras - Near Remote phenology surface - though still limited in space greatly reduces human labor data collection. Additionally, it is proven its effectiveness to monitor accurately the leaf change in many species. This project aimed to apply new technologies to enhance the monitoring capacity with images close to the surface (Near Remote phenology) and detect changes at various scales, leaves the ecosystem. Our goal was to address theoretical and practical problems involving the combination of two different remote monitoring systems: digital cameras phenology towers and the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). It has been focused on two innovative objectives: (a) apply these technologies to extract information ecophysiological plant, advancing the understanding of seasonal responses to environmental factors in a peculiar ecosystem of rock fields and (b) integrate the extraction techniques of red color channels , green and blue concepts of plants to landscape ecology in order to propose a different approach to connectivity studies.
