Habitat loss and degradation, overexploitation, climate change and the spread of invasive
species are drastically depleting the Earth's biological diversity, leading to detrimental …

Satellite remote sensing is an important tool for monitoring the status of biodiversity and
associated environmental parameters, including certain elements of habitats. However …

Biodiversity is essential to healthy ecosystem function, influencing productivity and
resilience to disturbance. Biodiversity loss endangers essential ecosystem services and …

Detailed knowledge about tree species composition is of great importance for forest
management. The two identical European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel-2 (S2) satellites …

This report examines the scientific basis for the use of remotely sensed data, particularly
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), primarily for the assessment of land …

Digital technology is changing nature conservation in increasingly profound ways. We
describe this impact and its significance through the concept of 'digital conservation', which …

Although satellite‐based variables have for long been expected to be key components to a
unified and global biodiversity monitoring strategy, a definitive and agreed list of these …

Two prominent limitations of species distribution models (SDM s) are spatial biases in
existing occurrence data and a lack of spatially explicit predictor variables to fully capture …

Mapping forest types and tree species at regional scales to provide information for
ecologists and forest managers is a new challenge for the remote sensing community. Here …

Global changes in climate and land use are threatening natural ecosystems, biodiversity,
and the ecosystem services people rely on. This is why it is necessary to track and monitor …
