Abstract

Habitat monitoring and management for sagebrush obligate species are often based on sagebrush cover estimates

Remote sensing methods, including object based image analyses (OBIA), may be a good method to estimate sagebrush cover over large landscapes.

Research Objective: Compare traditional ground measurements used to estimate sagebrush cover with OBIA using high resolution imagery.
