new paper - Phenology-based classification of invasive annual grasses to the species level

The Great Basin Landscape Ecology Lab and Center for Transformative Environmental Monitoring Programs has a new paper in Remote Sensing of Environment that uses drones to map two different invasive grasses in the Great Basin - cheatgrass and medusahead.  Our study found that we could effectively differentiate the species using three well-timed flights and a simple red-green-blue camera.  Using unmanned aerial vehicles we were able to accurately map the occurrence of these two different invasive species on the landscape.
