Large number of spectral bands and high spatial resolution allows for identification of particular species. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data provide information about areas such as vegetation structure. Because the species differ in terms of features during the growing season, it is important to know when their spectral responses are unique in the background of the surrounding vegetation. The aim of the study was to identify two expansive grass species: Molinia caerulea and Calamagrostis epigejos in the Natura 2000 area in Poland depending on the period and dataset used. Field work was carried out during late spring, summer and early autumn, in parallel with remote sensing data acquisition. Airborne 1-m resolution HySpex images and LiDAR data were used. HySpex images were corrected geometrically and atmospherically before Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF) transformation and vegetation indices calculation. Based on a LiDAR point cloud generated Canopy Height Model, vegetation structure from discrete and full-waveform data and topographic indexes were generated. Classifications were performed using a Random Forest algorithm. The results show post-classification maps and their accuracies: Kappa value and F1 score being the harmonic mean of producer (PA) and user (UA) accuracy, calculated iteratively. Based on these accuracies and botanical knowledge, it was possible to assess the best identification date and dataset used for analysing both species. For M. caerulea the highest median Kappa was 0.85 (F1 = 0.89) in August and for C. epigejos 0.65 (F1 = 0.73) in September. For both species, adding discrete or full-waveform LiDAR data improved the results. We conclude that hyperspectral (HS) and LiDAR airborne data could be useful to identify grassland species encroaching into Natura 2000 habitats and for supporting their monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10122019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,12]],"date-time":"2018-12-12T10:54:26Z","timestamp":1544612066000},"page":"2019","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["Classification of Expansive Grassland Species in Different Growth Stages Based on Hyperspectral and LiDAR Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9080-3899","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adriana","family":"Marcinkowska-Ochtyra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geoinformatics, Cartography and Remote Sensing, Chair of Geomatics and Information Systems, Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies, University of Warsaw, 00-927 Warsaw, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3610-4656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Jaroci\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geoinformatics, Cartography and Remote Sensing, Chair of Geomatics and Information Systems, Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies, University of Warsaw, 00-927 Warsaw, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4603-2847","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Bzd\u0119ga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany and Nature Protection, Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection, University of Silesia in Katowice, 40-032 Katowice, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4058-1220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Barbara","family":"Tokarska-Guzik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Botany and Nature Protection, Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection, University of Silesia in Katowice, 40-032 Katowice, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biocon.2011.09.015","article-title":"Mapping to inform conservation: A case study of changes in semi-natural habitats and their connectivity over 70 years","volume":"145","author":"Hooftman","year":"2012","journal-title":"Biol.
