Abstract:

Hedgerows of the world : their ecological functions in different landscapes : proceedings of the tenth annual IALE(UK) conference, held at Birmingham University, 5th-8th September 2001 / edited by Colin Barr and Sandrine Petit.

Recent developments in airborne remote sensing technology have enabled a progression from land cover classification towards landscape modelling using digital imagery. Landscape features such as hedgerows can be modelled in 3-dimensions, enabling characteristics such as structure, pattern, connectivity and context to be discerned at synoptic scales. This paper provides an introductory overview to the mapping of hedgerows in a landscape context using airborne remote sensing data.
