Wetlands are some of the most important ecosystems on Earth. They play a key role in
alleviating floods and filtering polluted water and also provide habitats for many plants and …

Conceptually, plant functional types represent a classification scheme between species and
broad vegetation types. Historically, these were based on physiological, structural and/or …

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

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 …

Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1

Remote sensing is becoming an increasingly important tool for agriculturalists, ecologists,
and land managers for the study of Earth's agricultural and natural vegetation, and can be …

In this review, various applications of near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) in
agriculture and in the quality control of agro-food products are presented. NIR-HSI is an …

Remote sensing image analysis is increasingly being used as a tool for mapping invasive
plant species. Resulting distribution maps can be used to target management of early …

Impacts of human civilization on ecosystems threaten global biodiversity. In a changing
environment, traditional in situ approaches to biodiversity monitoring have made significant …

Salt marshes provide crucial ecological functions and services and are experiencing rapid
losses and degradation under global climate changes and high-intensity human activities in …
