Quantifier les dimensions des houppiers à l’aide d’images aériennes à haute résolution pour estimer l’accroissement diamétrique des arbres dans les forêts d’Afrique centrale

Abstract: Caractériser la dynamique d’une forêt est essentiel pour la gestion forestière. Les houppiers des arbres forment un élément clé de cette dynamique ; mais, en forêt tropicale, les mesurer n’est pas simple. Cette étude teste l’utilisation d’images aériennes à haute résolution pour estimer la croissance diamétrique des arbres, en intégrant des mesures fines des houppiers détectés. Des ortho-images de 10 cm/pixel de résolution ont été obtenues à l’aide d’un drone à aile fixe sur une parcelle de 9 ha, installée dan… Show more

“…Although new remote sensing technologies may help to better describe local tree environments (Chambers et al, 2007;Jucker et al, 2018;Ndamiyehe Ncutirakiza et al, 2020), most models of tree growth and mortality rely today on a few explanatory variables that can be routinely assessed during field inventories. These are mostly tree species, forest types, regions, and occasionally tree size and competition indices.…”

“…In this study, we used competition indices based on the dendrometric characteristics of the studied tree and/or of its neighbours, instead of a direct light index (Rueger et al, 2009, 2011) or an indirect one (Clark & Clark, 1999; Dawkins, 1958). Some authors have combined the two types of indices in their models or compared the part of growth variance explained by one or the other type (King et al, 2005; Laurans et al, 2014; Moravie et al, 1999; Ndamiyehe Ncutirakiza et al, 2020; Zambrano et al, 2019, see Appendix S4: Table 14). Although these light indices attempt to measure the amount of light received by the tree, thus being closer to the actual underlying mechanism, their explained variance was comparable with that of the classical competition indices.…”

“…The Dawkins index is quicker to collect, but it is based on a partly subjective estimate, making comparisons between sites surveyed by different field teams unreliable: this is the reason why we did not use it in our study. However, the current development of aerial imagery using UAV cameras, which allows a better characterization of tree crowns and their degree of lighting (Araujo et al, 2020; Ndamiyehe Ncutirakiza et al, 2020), could bring important improvements in the medium term.…”

“…Despite the same age of plantation and climatic conditions, although the methods of BE, Layon and Martineau express statistically similar P. elata global diameter means, respectively with 44.49, 40.84 and 39.61 cm; the DBH classes express different annual diameter growth rate (related to height or trunk slenderness) for a given silvicultural technique. The difference is pointed out because of the botanical nature of each of the two species, different tree diameters (or basal areas) based on different methods for the same species, border effect, light deficit for Martineau, lack of appropriated clearing following the management methods, mortality, vegetal sociability, natural regeneration rate, density and volume of planted stems, pedo-hydrological and eco-topographical variables, exploited and non-exploited forest zones and plantations [1,17,23,27,28,31,32].…”
