Pattern and process are inextricably linked in biogeographic analyses, though we can
observe pattern, we must infer process. Inferences of process are often based on ad hoc …

Most ecological studies use remote sensing to analyze broad‐scale biodiversity patterns,
focusing mainly on taxonomic diversity in natural landscapes. One of the most important …

Comprehensive information on species distribution and species composition patterns of
plant communities is required for effective conservation and management of biodiversity …

Understanding the distribution of the species and its controls over biogeographic scales is
still a major challenge in ecology. National Park Networks provide an opportunity to assess …

Maps based on classified Earth observation (EO) imagery have been used to model
biodiversity, but errors associated with the classification process itself and the resulting …

Road building is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity globally. This study addressed
common challenges for spatially explicit ecological assessments of linear infrastructure …

Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater wetland in China, provides critical habitat for wintering
waterbirds from the East Asian Flyway; however, landscape drivers of non-uniform bird …

(1) Background: The NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) is a basic indicator of
