Monitoring spatial change in seagrass habitat with aerial photography

摘要: Photointerpretive techniques were applied to map the spatial change of seagrass habitat between 1985 and 1988 in Back Sound southern Core Sound, North Carolina. The method constrains photography optimize visualization photic submerged land. It accentuates surface level training verification observed photographs minimize classification errors due variability photographic signatures benthic features. is unique its registration data concurrent shoreline manuscript base maps from National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, Ocean Service. Seagrass abundant study area-approximately 7,000 hectares or 35 percent subtidal land―with a high degree overlap 1988.
