Abstract The 2017–2027 National Academies' Decadal Survey, Thriving on Our Changing
Planet, recommended Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) as a “Designated Targeted …

Increasing evidence suggests that remotely sensed spectral diversity is linked to plant
species richness. However, a conflicting spectral diversity–biodiversity relationship in …

Remote sensing enhances large-scale biodiversity monitoring by overcoming temporal and
spatial limitations of ground-based measurements and allows assessment of multiple plant …

Sentinel-2 satellite data enables multispectral monitoring of the earth at a high temporal
revisit rate. Combining this information with a network of optical ground measurements …

Non-invasive investigation of surfaces from drones and manned aircrafts used as camera
platforms is a well-established remote-sensing practice. However, cross-comparison of …

Method C is one of the standard methods of topographic compensation, but can cause over-
/undercorrection in faintly illuminated areas (dark regions in the illumination map). A …

Surface reflectance is an important data product in imaging spectroscopy for obtaining
surface information. The complex retrieval of surface reflectance, however, critically relies on …

Hyperspectral instruments on UAV systems are increasingly used for extensive and
repeated data acquisitions. This paper describes an efficient automatic atmospheric and …

The complex terrain in mountainous areas distorts solar illumination, which brings a strong
topographic effect on optical remote-sensing observations. Although many efforts have been …

Topographic Correction (TC) is one of the essential pre-processing methods to reduce the
topographic effect in remote sensing data. It is one of the main factors affecting the …
