Water Stress Index for Bogs and Mires Based on UAV Land Surface Measuremnts and Its Dependency on Airborne Hyperespectral Data

This study is focused on adaptation of the water stress index to make use of it on bogs and mires of temperate transitional climate zone. Investigated object is located in Janowskie Forest Landscape Park (south-east Poland), area protected within Natura 2000 network and recognized as habitat 7140 (transition mires and quaking bogs). In order to obtain dataset UAV flights with thermal camera and airborne mission with hyperspectral sensor were performed. Field measurements included collection of both meteorological and biophysical parameters. It is shown that CWSI is a promising method for monitoring of water stress on Natura 2000 habitats.
