Aquatic Vegetation Cover Change
Aquatic vegetation change is best read as an area-and-pattern product. Species-level identification from aerial imagery alone is not reliable and should not be promised.
Overview
- Classify into floating, emergent and submerged categories rather than attempting species identification.
- Submerged vegetation is generally not visible from the air; do not report its absence as a finding.
- The peak-growth season defines the reference epoch; comparing across seasons measures phenology, not change.
- Ground truthing a sample of each class is what makes the classification defensible.
