What is Buffelgrass?What is Buffelgrass?
• Invasive species originally brought from Africa to the Americas for cattlegrazing
• Threatens to out-compete native species• Potential to transform the fireproof Arizona

What is Remote Sensing?What is Remote Sensing?A science that uses satellite imagery and aerial
photography to identify features and natural processes on the Earth’s surface

ObjectivesObjectives• Identify a practical method of mapping and
managing buffelgrass in Southern Arizona • Determine benefits of different spectral
and spatial satellite and aerial imagery to locate buffelgrass

ResultsResults
• High-resolution imagery was more reliable than moderate-resolution imagery at locating buffelgrass
• Manual digitization of the1ft aerial photography was the most accurate method of classifying buffelgrass
• Of the automated classified images, the 1ft aerial photography with topography and texture was the most accurate

ConclusionConclusionWe suggest that 1ft resolution or higher aerial
photography, which covers much of the infested areas surrounding Tucson, should be used to most
effectively map and manage buffelgrass infestations in the future.
