英文摘要: The present study assessed the potential of varying spectral configuration of Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI), Sentinel 2 MultiSpectal Instrument (MSI) and Worldview 2 sensors in the seasonal discrimination of Festuca costata (C3) and Themeda Triandra (C4) grass species in the Drakensberg, South Africa. This was achieved by resampling hyperspectral measurements to the spectral windows corresponding to the three sensors at two distinct seasonal periods (summer peak and end of winter), using the Discriminant Analysis (DA) classification ensemble. In summer, standard bands of the Worldview 2 produced the highest overall classification accuracy (98.61%), followed by Sentinel 2 (97.52%), whereas the Landsat 8 spectral configuration was the least performer, using vegetation indices (95.83%). In winter, Sentinel 2 spectral bands produced the highest accuracy (96.18%) for the two species, followed by Worldview 2 (94.44%) and Landsat 8 yielded the least (91.67%) accuracy. Results also showed that maximum separability between C3 and C4 grasses was in summer, while at the end of winter considerable overlaps were noted, especially when using the spectral settings of the Landsat 8 OLI and Sentinel 2 shortwave infrared bands. Test of significance in species reflectance further confirmed that in summer, there were significant differences (P < 0.05), whereas in winter, most of the spectral windows of all sensors yielded insignificant differences (P > 0.05) between the two species. In this regard, the peak summer period presents a promising opportunity for the spectral discrimination of C3 and C4 grass species functional types, than the end of winter, when using multispectral sensors. Results from this study highlight the influence of seasonality on discrimination and therefore provide the basis for the successful discrimination and mapping of C3 and C4 grass species. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
