 This study demonstrated the feasibility of using unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs, for monitoring Antarctic moss beds. The authors successfully geo-referenced and mosaiced images from three different sensors, allowing for the creation of a single high-resolution image dataset. This dataset was then used to create a thematic map of moss health and a surface temperature map, which together provided valuable insights into the physiological state of the mosses.
