| Abstract/Contents: | "Pampasgrass (Cortaderia selloana) is a perennial grass and an invasive plant of open space areas. Colonization can affect naturalized areas of golf courses, where it alters native plant communities and contributes biomass to fire fuel risks. Mapping pampasgrass individuals across a golf course could be helpful to understand ecological dynamics at spatial scales, and could inform integrated pest management (IPM) planning for practitioners. Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are useful for high-resolution mapping of large parcels and difficult-to-reach natural areas. The objective of this experiment was to develop a map and quantify pampasgrass individuals across a golf course. In December 2019, aerial imagery was collected with a DJI Mavic Air across a 200- acre golf course in central California. Images were mosaicked in Pix4D and individual pampasgrass plants were manually entered into a point layer in QGIS. This process resulted in a vegetation map of the entire golf course and a distribution map of over 300 pampasgrass individuals. This experiment demonstrated a systematic approach using drones to gather information about vegetation distribution on golf courses. Our methods could be employed by golf course managers as a strategy to design an effective IPM plan for eradication and identify priority areas for continued monitoring." |
