Using unmanned aerial vehicles to quantify spatial patterns of dominant vegetation along an elevation gradient in the typical Gobi region in Xinjiang, Northwest China

Using unmanned aerial vehicles to quantify spatial patterns of dominant vegetation along an elevation gradient in the typical Gobi region in Xinjiang, Northwest China

Elevation gradient is a key environmental factor influencing the distribution of plants in the Gobi region. It can indirectly regulate the distribution of plants based on terrain and varying soil moisture, nutrient distribution, and particle composition. Undertaking ground vegetation surveys to obse...
