Construction and Validation of a High-Fidelity Virtual Scene for Low-Stature and High-Biodiversity Ecosystems—Simulating Multi-Modal Sensing Approaches

The Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) in South Africa is a fire-prone biodiversity hotspot where high species richness, structural complexity, and small plant sizes (0.0001–4 m2) pose substantial challenges for remote sensing-based biodiversity assessment. Spectral similarity among species and the mismatch between p...
