Twenty years ago, the Spectral Variation Hypothesis (SVH) was formulated as a means to
link between different aspects of biodiversity and spatial patterns of spectral data (eg …

In the light of unprecedented planetary changes in biodiversity, real-time and accurate
ecosystem and biodiversity assessments are becoming increasingly essential for informing …

Spatio-ecological heterogeneity is strongly linked to many ecological processes and
functions such as plant species diversity patterns and change, metapopulation dynamics …

At present, the accuracy of remote sensing estimation models of plant alpha diversity is
generally low, and high-precision estimation models in deciduous broadleaved forest (DBF) …

Forest biodiversity is a key element to support ecosystem functions. Measuring biodiversity
is a necessary step to identify critical issues and to choose interventions to be applied in …

Abstract Endemics–Area Relationships (EARs) are fundamental in theoretical and applied
biogeography for understanding distribution patterns and promoting biodiversity …

As there is an urgent need to protect rapidly declining global diversity, it is important to
identify methods to quickly estimate the diversity and heterogeneity of a region and …

ABSTRACT Aim Heterogeneity of the Earth's abiotic surface and subsurface (geodiversity) is
increasingly recognised as an important driver of biodiversity. Theoretically, species' traits …

Quantitative methods of prioritization are necessary to optimize the selection of protected
areas for biodiversity conservation. Reserve selection is traditionally based on single …

Remotely sensed spectral diversity is a promising method for investigating biodiversity.
However, studies designed to assess the effectiveness of tracking changes in diversity using …
