Summary

During 2018, uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs or 'drones') were used to collect spatially referenced aerial imagery from 20 management units (sites) enrolled in the Phragmites Adaptive Management Framework, a collective learning program developed by the Great Lakes Phragmites Collaborative. Management units were located in Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin (USA). Invasive Phragmites australis (hereafter "Phragmites") had been managed at each management units some time previously by the landowner or land manager, and aerial imagery was then collected to create cover classifications distinguishing live and dead Phragmites from the surrounding landscape using object-based image analysis with training based on ground-truth field data and photos.

Purpose

Data were collected to determine whether imagery from low-cost uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs or 'drones') could be used to create cover classifications useful in determining post-management cover extent of invasive Phragmites australis at sites across the Laurentian Great Lakes basin. The data has been used to generate error classification rates for the methods employed to generate cover classification maps and can be used to determine the percent cover of alive and dead Phragmites at the sites surveyed.
