Field methods applicable to your question are listed below. The field methods have been rated by experts according to their precision, relative cost/effort. These three criteria are helpful for considering the tradeoffs when deciding which method is best for your application and the feasibility of implementing them. Selecting appropriate methods requires more in depth comparisons that are available with the compare button and information in the method wiki.
Sample design: Where you sample is every bit as important as how you sample. Sample design will determine whether or not your observations can address your overall objectives and question. An effective number and distribution of samples is required to make valid inferences from field data. Values for costs and level of required effort provided in the comparison tables are relative because the actual cost will depend on sample design. Visit our page on sample design.

Remote sensing methods applicable to your question are listed below. They are ranked by experts according to how well they can answer the question you selected as part of a complete analysis process. Sensors that work with a particular method or methods that work with data from a particular sensor will be highlighted by clicking on the items in the list. Deciding which method is best for your application will require more in depth comparisons available with the compare button and consideration of details contained in the full abstracts of each method.
Every remote sensing assessment or monitoring project involves a process of multiple procedures including image processing, often combinations of several analysis methods, and field validation or training samples. Examples of the full analysis process used in particular rangeland projects are given in the abstracts available by clicking on method names.
Methods in Development:
The methods listed here have been submitted by experts developing new analytical methods. Because these methods are either “in-development,” have not been well vetted through the peer-reviewed publication process, or have not yet been evaluated by experts for the Methods Guide, they are presented without rankings for your information. Clicking on the name will take you to a full abstract with the details of the method and the contact information for the experts who are working to apply it to rangeland questions.
