Summary: Current Protocol
• Can detect change• Detected too much false change (clouds, shadows,
agricultural dynamics) to provide meaningful results
• Threshold level not sensitive enough to detect annual regrowth or low intensity, slow disturbance
• Difficult to see change along narrow, long features of interest, due to misregistration errors
• Upper elevation areas appear as pure speckle due to variable landcover and annual variation in phenology

Landsat-based Detection of Trends in Disturbance and Recovery (LandTrendr)
Rather than look for disturbance EVENTS, look for disturbance TRAJECTORIES

Segmentation
• Goodness of fit to idealized curves
• Allows for lower threshold levels
• Greatly reduces amount of background noise

LandTrendr- Pros
• Captures Pacific Northwest landscape dynamics well
• Captures smaller changes that are still of interest• Already has long time series
• 25 years of change• Provides additional products like intensity and
regeneration• Includes Canada• Works for small and large parks
![Page 30: Challenges of monitoring natural disturbance processes using remotely sensed data in North Coast and Cascades Network: comparison of approaches Natalya.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110213/56649f1b5503460f94c30c85/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
LandTrendr - Cons
• Expensive to implement• Still need to interpret results (ascribe agent of
change)• Develop methodology
Subsampling? Modeling? Validate every polygon in park?
• Developed for forested areas • results have not been evaluated for subalpine
vegetation

C-CAP -Pros• Free• Simple analysis to get results• Could provide “big picture” change detection
outside park, particularly reductions in forest cover
![Page 39: Challenges of monitoring natural disturbance processes using remotely sensed data in North Coast and Cascades Network: comparison of approaches Natalya.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110213/56649f1b5503460f94c30c85/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
C-CAP - Cons
• Misses certain change types Slow increase or decrease in vegetation, narrow
features like riparian• Accuracy unknown, errors propagate• Long time delay for results (01-06 change
available in 09)• 5 year interval too long for some types of
change Rivers, avalanche chutes
• No control over product• Doesn’t cover Canada• Still need to ascribe agent to change
![Page 40: Challenges of monitoring natural disturbance processes using remotely sensed data in North Coast and Cascades Network: comparison of approaches Natalya.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110213/56649f1b5503460f94c30c85/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Current Efforts
•Automatically assign disturbance agent based on:• Trajectory label• Location on
landscape• Proximity to stream• Aspect• Elevation• Geology• Soil Type
