Incorporating environmental data to refine the classification and understanding of the mechanisms behind encroachment of a woody species in the Southern Great Plains (USA) by Justin Dawsey, Nancy E. McIntyre

“…Shallow, alkaline soils with low water-storage capacity, high electrical conductance, and low cation exchange capacity were associated with mesquite presence; these areas tended to be associated with flat, low-elevation drainages in regions that experience wide annual temperature ranges. These methods provide an easily reproducible and scalable way to assist with image classification of rangeland shrubs from remotely sensed imagery, which may prove useful in managing the further encroachment of problematic species like honey mesquite.…”
