English: These images are of a small reserve in Whāngrei Aotearoa (New Zealand). The bottom image is a thermal image of the same site, with a slightly different perspective, mainly caused by different camera lenses. The key information distilled from these images is the temperature differences. Note that the grass and the bush have similar heat signatures. Temperatures range from 29 to 37oC. while the dividing herbicide strip 53 oC. Note also the vehicle tracks in the top image with roughly proximate higher temperature readings in the bottom image with an 8oC. differential. Over time vehicles compact soil structure leading to reduced plant growth, especially when vehicles drive on wet soils.
