Title of the talk: Airborne LIDAR for mapping habitat conservation status, biodiversity and ecosystem services
Time: Thursday, 7. March 2018 at 15.15
Place: Tartu, Lai 40-218 (Vaga auditorium)
Summary: Airborne LIDAR delivers 3D models of the landscape and is available across all Estonia. We present case studies of using LIDAR for ecosystem assessment at various scales. These include Natura 2000 habitat conservation status mapping in an alkali grassland, wetland vegetation ecosystem service potential assessment and nationwide species richness prediction with high resolution.
