Monitoring protected areas and their surrounds at local to regional scales is essential given
their vulnerability to anthropogenic pressures, including those associated with climatic …

Aim Detection of rare species is limited by their intrinsic nature and by the constraints
associated with traditional field surveys. Remote sensing (RS) provides a powerful …

Variability in spectral reflectance due to spatial and temporal gradients in vegetation
phenology presents issues for accurate vegetation classification. Phenological variability …

We assessed aerial hyperspectral imagery with high spatial (1.5 m) and spectral (8.9 nm)
resolutions for detecting and mapping the early invasion by Solidago altissima of understory …

This paper deals with the classification of grasslands using high resolution satellite image
time series. Grasslands considered in this work are semi-natural elements in fragmented …

Vegetation, through its condition, reflects the properties of the environment. Heterogeneous
alpine ecosystems play a critical role in global monitoring systems, but due to low …

Prioritizing management efforts and funds for invasive species relies upon knowledge of
their ecological impacts. Often, however, novel species have unknown effects and can …

Many endangered species are distributed in narrow geographic ranges, often at severe risk
of extinction. Ecological niche modeling can be used to identify suitable areas, which can be …

Grassland degradation is one of the important ecological problems in China. During recent
years, influenced by global warming and increasing human activities, different degrees of …

Characterized by an alpine meadow, the ecological environment system in the 'Three-River
Headwaters' region (TRHR) is considered to be a typical fragile ecological system …
