APPLAUSE Journal 2: A new system to tackle Invasive Alien Plant Species
UIA Expert Jorgina Cuixart shares that “the project is testing a new system for identifying, tracking and harvesting IAPS found in the lands owned by the City of Ljubljana. This new system combines fieldwork with IAPS detection through satellite and aerial imagery data. The aim is that the combination of both makes the entire process much more efficient. To further ease this process, APPLAUSE is developing a set of digital tools to support IAPS identification and geo-localisation while professionals as well as citizens are out on the field”. Check out what else has happened during the last six months in the latest issue of the journal!
