Beta-Diversity Modeling and Mapping with LiDAR and Multispectral Sensors in a Semi-Evergreen Tropical Forest
Ochoa-Franco et al. in: Forests (2019), 10:5, Article 419
Figure 1
Flowchart representing the whole procedure. Log-transformed percentage Importance Value Indexes (IVI%) of the species at plot level were ordinated onto a 2-D non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination (nMDS). Differences between disturbance histories were tested for each axis-scores, and the axis sensitive to that was linearly modeled. As predicted variables, textures of the five bands and two vegetation indexes were calculated from RapidEye Multispectral imagery and 95 LiDAR-derived variables. Spearman’s correlations were calculated between the response variable and the predictor variables, and the variable selection was performed using iteratively a linear mixed model that includes as fixed effect the covariate to be tested, and a random effect that takes into account that there exists other covariates that needs to be considered. We finally rank the variables from the lower p-values, and apply a stepwise selection procedure to the top ten covariates. Linear dependencies were explored by computing the variables’ variance inflation factors (VIF). The relative importance of LiDAR and RapidEye derived variance was assessed. Model predictive ability was assessed via ten-fold cross-validation and the final model was used to map it for the study area extent, each disturbance history with a characteristic position in the compositional ordination space (β-diversity).
