    Alteration of hydrogeomorphic processes by invasive beavers in southern South America

    Highlights\n-Invasive beaver occupy all wetland and aquatic habitat except large rivers and bogs.\n-Beaver alter hydrogeomorphic processes in ways antithetical to meadow theory.\n-Beaver dig and pile large volumes of sediment into dams

    reshaping valleys\n-Damming leads exotic grasses to replace native moss in groundwater-fed peatlands.\n-Restoration proposals have previously overlooked impacts to peatlands

    Alteration of hydrogeomorphic processes by invasive beavers in southern South America

    Microform is important in understanding wetland functions and processes. We found that coupling SfM-MVS with ground-based photos taken with a point and shoot camera is a viable and competitive technique for generating ultrahigh-resolution elevations. In evaluating 100+ viable data collection and processing scenarios

    that vegetation class

    when accounted for

    reduced absolute error by as much as 50%. Ground-based SfM-MVS is a useful addition to the wetland scientists' toolkit.
