Global biodiversity assessments require the collection of data on changes in plant biodiversity on an ongoing basis.
Humid tropical forests, vital in global efforts to limit rising temperatures, are under threat as a result of changes in land use and climate.
QUT researchers have developed a new machine learning mathematical system that helps to identify and detect changes in biodiversity, including land clearing, when satellite imagery is obstructed by clouds.
