Abstract

To detect the woody invasives the aerial surveys proved to be the fastest and the most efficient solution, as the resolution of satellite images does not always allow the vegetation mapping at the species level. We have developed a cost-effective method by using free satellite images and softwares, which detects the rapidly developing woody increment appearing in larger than 3600 m2 areas. The method is primarily sensitive to the active plant biomass increment, so it poorly reveals the woody vegetation present in the work area a long time ago. It is especially sensitive for the fast-growing and newly appeared shrub and tree landcover of the given year.
