Maps and Metrics for Healthier Ecosystems

Understory’s vegetation analysis software rapidly monitors and quantifies discrete landscape changes to mitigate the effects of environmental change and biodiversity loss.

We deliver actionable information for land management, habitat conservation, and climate risk assessment.

Smart conservation
starts with clear information


Understory identifies vegetation down to the species level and quantifies exact biomass coverage. These metrics provide measurable environmental performance indicators over the lifespan of an intervention or initiative.

“Understory lets us monitor key manatee habitat and guide conservation efforts.”
