Critical slowing down: vegetation height, cover and composition assess resilience of tidal fresh, brackish and salt marshes following experimental disturbance at twelve sites across the estuarine landscape
We investigated the relative recovery rates of vegetation cover, vegetation height and community composition over a period of >10 years after experimental disturbance in 12 tidal marshes (two oligohaline, three mesohaline and seven polyhaline sites) across the estuarine landscape on the coast of Georgia, USA. Vegetation was removed from three by three meter plots (four per site) with herbicide in 2006 followed by repeated clipping through 2009. Vegetation height, cover and composition was assessed in experimental and control plots (4 of each per site) from 2010 to 2020. The goal of the study was to assess how quickly the sites recovered from disturbance, how this varied in different types of marshes, and how results varied depending on whether recovery was assessed by vegetation height, cover or composition.
Maximum height for the native vegetation in Minas Gerais State, Brazil
<p>Maximum height for native vegetation of Minas Gerais State (Brazil) based on GEDI measurements and environmental factors. The environmental layers included annual average temperature, annual average precipitation, terrain elevation, slope, number of cloud free days, number of months with precipitation below 100 mm. The GEDI height records were overlapped to the environmental layers, and filtered, considered the efficiency frontier.</p>

Vegetation profile and canopy height of Tabonuco, Colorado and Cloud Forests
The overall height and the presence of vegetation in different height intervals above ground is recorded above points on a 5 x 5 m grid in three hectare-sized plots in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico. One plots each is in tabonuco forest (350 m elevation), colorado forest (650 m) and cloud forest (1000 m). The first records were made shortly before Hurricane Hugo, in 1989. Post hurricane measurements have been made five time to six time in each plot, the most recent been in 1998 for all plots. The results show the damage to forest structure wreaked by Hurricane Hugo, steady recovery of forest structure after Hugo, minor damage by Hurricane Hortense in 1996, and resumption of recovery after Hortense. Maximum canopy height and the vertical distribution of vegetation in the forests are returning to pre-hurricane Hugo values.

Vegetation and Building Heights for Northampton and Accomac Counties, Virginia 2010
This dataset contains heights of vegetation and buildings above ground level as indicated by the 2010 LiDAR from the Virginia Information Technology Agency (VITA) (datasets: VCR12202 [knb-lter-vcr.202] and VCR12195 [knb-lter-vcr.203]). Ground levels were subtracted from the maximum elevations reported in the LiDAR point cloud to create a layer containing vegetation and structure heights above the ground. Some of the structures recorded include radio an cell towers, so there is a wide range of elevations represented, but most are less than 40 meters tall. Data are projected in UTM zone 18N, using the WGS84 datum, and with heights above ground-level in meters.Â
Vegetation and Building Heights for Accomack and Northampton Counties, Virginia, April 2015
This dataset gives the aboveground height of vegetation and buildings in Northampton and Accomack Counties, VA in April 2015. LiDAR data were collected April 11-24, 2015. A mosaiced DEM of ground elevations was assembled from DEM tiles from USGS. A LAS dataset of the classified LiDAR point cloud was assembled and a DEM of first-returns (representing the top of vegetation of buildings) created. The ground-elevation DEM was subtracted from the first-return DEM to yeild a difference layer that reflects the height of the vegetation or buildings above the ground level. Areas classified as Ponds, Lakes or Tidal areas were all set to 0 to avoid artifacts caused by waves etc. The resulting DEM was reprojected from State Plane to UTM coordinates and elevation units were changed from US Feet to Meters. The data contains some odd values in the seaside portion of the data. Heights > 10 meters in marsh areas are highly suspect.
