Settlements, and in particular cities, are at the center of key future challenges related to global change sustainable development. Widely used indicators assess efficiency sustainability settlement development compactness density built-up area. However, scale, a temporally consistent spatially detailed survey distribution concentration building stock – meaning total area volume buildings within defined spatial unit or settlement, commonly referred as does not yet exist. To fill this data...
Abstract Recent progress in remote sensing provides much-needed, large-scale spatio-temporal information on habitat structures important for biodiversity conservation. Here we examine the potential of a newly launched satellite-borne radar system (Sentinel-1) to map twelve taxa across five temperate forest regions central Europe. We show that sensitivity structure is similar airborne laser scanning (ALS), current gold standard measurement structure. Our models different facets reveal...
Abstract The role of Satellite Remote Sensing in monitoring the Earth's surface is more important than ever, as it allows us to see changes space, time, and across electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, crucial not only gather data but also analyse, visualize present findings. rstoolbox package offers a suite functions for (a) preprocessing, (b) analysis (c) visualization (multi‐band) remote sensing data, implementing state‐of‐the‐art methods such unsupervised supervised classification, or...
The decline of biodiversity is one the major current global issues. Still, there a widespread lack information about spatial distribution individual species and as whole. Remote sensing techniques are increasingly used for monitoring especially combination LiDAR hyperspectral data expected to deliver valuable information. In this study patterns vascular plant community composition α-diversity temperate montane forest in Germany were analysed different strata. predictive power (LiD) (MNF)...
The African protected area (PA) network has the potential to act as a set of functionally interconnected patches that conserve meta-populations mammal species, but individual PAs are vulnerable habitat change which may disrupt connectivity and increase extinction risk. Individual have different roles in maintaining connectivity, depending on their size location. We measured contribution (irreplaceability) for carnivores ungulates combined it with measure vulnerability based 30-year trend...
Continental to global scale mapping of the human settlement extent based on earth observation satellite data has made considerable progress. Nevertheless, current approaches only provide a two-dimensional representation built environment. Therewith, full characterization is restricted in terms urban morphology and built-up density, which can be gained by detailed examination vertical extent. This paper introduces methodology for extraction three-dimensional (3D) information settlements...
Abstract Optical remote sensing is an important tool in the study of animal behavior providing ecologists with means to understand species–environment interactions combination movement data. However, differences spatial and temporal resolution between data limit their direct assimilation. In this context, we built a data‐driven framework map resource suitability that addresses these as well limitations satellite imagery. It combines seasonal composites multiyear surface reflectances...
Schistosomiasis is a widespread water-based disease that puts close to 800 million people at risk of infection with more than 250 infected, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. Transmission governed by the spatial distribution specific freshwater snails act as intermediate hosts and frequency, duration extent human bodies exposed infested water sources during contact. Remote sensing data have been utilized for spatially explicit profiling schistosomiasis. Since schistosomiasis based on remote...
Micro-relief heterogeneity can lead to substantial variability in microclimate and hence niche opportunities on a small scale. We explored the relationship between plant species richness small-scale of micro-relief subtropical island La Palma, Canary Islands. Overall, we sampled 40 plots laurel pine forests at four altitudinal bands. Species was recorded separately for various growth forms (i.e., mosses, herbaceous woody plants). Site conditions such as altitude, slope, aspect, tree density...
The REFLEX 2012 campaign was initiated as part of a training course on the organization an airborne to support advancement understanding land-atmosphere interaction processes. This article describes campaign, its objectives and observations, remote well in situ. observations took place at experimental Las Tiesas farm agricultural area south Spain. During period ten days, measurements were made capture main processes controlling local regional exchanges. Apart from multi-temporal,...
Abstract Analysing the changing spatial patterns of landscapes due to climate change or anthropogenic impact is important for various disciplines. Land cover and its resulting modification in landscape influence geographical ecological parameters. Changing formerly continuous into discontinuous ecosystems land conversion causes isolated fragments landscape. Maintaining connectivity a fragmented relevant for, e.g. nutrient cycle, water‐runoff species population persistence. Satellite imagery...
