A novel method for cliff vegetation estimation based on the unmanned aerial vehicle 3D modeling

Abstract: The cliff ecosystem is one of the least human-disturbed ecosystems in nature, and its inaccessible and often extreme habitats are home to many ancient and unique plant species. Because of the harshness of cliff habitats, their high elevation, steepness of slopes, and inaccessibility to humans, surveying cliffs is incredibly challenging. Comprehensive and systematic information on cliff vegetation cover is not unavailable but obtaining such information on these cliffs is fundamentally important and of high prio… Show more

“…Many approaches have been developed to conduct UAS botanical surveys in hard‐to‐reach environments. For some researchers, a photogrammetry method has been used to create complete orthomosaics of the surface of interest to inventory specific species using a single pass (De Simone, 2020; Strumia et al., 2020) or double pass approach (Gao et al., 2024; Li et al., 2022). Others have conducted vertical transects to create checklists of floral components across elevational gradients (Zhou et al., 2021).…”

“…They can also track changes in vegetation over time, providing essential data for assessing the impact of environmental changes and the effectiveness of conservation strategies [16]. The use of UAV photogrammetry has significantly enhanced the efficiency of 3D modeling and vegetation monitoring [17]. Furthermore, drone use contributes to democratizing science.…”
