Preliminary Results: 3) Robel height
Grass Robel height was significantly lower at 0-m ditches (p<0.05); no difference
between 2m and 4m vegetative filter strips.
30. Preliminary Results: Summary
• Both Total Station survey (manual) and LiDAR scan (UAV) in
2020 showed ditch volume decrease (sediment deposition), but
no significant difference among treatments (vegetative filter
strip width of 0, 2, and 4m) in the total station survey (though
lower % for wider buffer strip); LiDAR scan showed significantly
more deposition under 0-m strip than 2 and 4 m.
• 2021 data (completed in mid-Nov, under processing) showed a
reverse trend of ditch volume decrease (sediment loss, data no
shown). Needs further verification.
• Robel height followed our expectation (low at 0-m), and soil
and water quality data is under processing.

What does the color represent? Red means increase in elevation and green means decrease in elevation?
Red means high; might be grasses; but can be eliminated by MVT
Can you separate “total station survey” and “soil sampling”? It is better to put all information about total station survey in one slides or two consecutive slides the followed by a slide for soil sampling. “befer” should be “before”.
Add a picture of Robel height
Along ditch on both sides? What is your plan for 2021?
Average height increased ~ 0.168m
Average height decreased ~ -0.056m
Can you add digital legends? so that I can estimate approximately how many cm increase or decrease.
What is the unit?
Winter 2019: how to remove the effect of snow cover?
Compute the average increase
How was the grass and water look like while LiDAR survey in August 2020? Can you post a aerial picture taken by MVT?
Failed in both one way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test(a nonparametric statstics).
A one-tailed T-test has also being runed, ended with p-value 0.2639 the data fail to the normality test(Shapiro-Wilk test). Serval normalize procedure(logarithmic, root, square) were tried, but all failed.
Don’t know whether is useful or not, the NDVI data.
