ASPECTS AND PERSPECTIVE OF INTERIM ECOLOGICAL MONITORING APPLICATION ON ECOSYSTEMS BY MEANS OF REMOTE SENSING
Journal Title: Ecological Engineering and Environment Protection (EEEP) - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Identifying and detailing the biophysical characteristics of species and habitats, habitat mapping, predicting the distribution of species and spatial variability in species richness and detecting the influence of natural and human-caused disasters on biodiversity urgently implies interim ecological monitoring implementation as part of regular ecological monitoring. The term ‘interim ecological monitoring’ implies the development of models for ecological monitoring, while integrating remotely sensed data. This paper explores how recent advances in spatial and spectral resolutions of satellite sensors can contribute to studying aspects of biodiversity, as well as discussing advantages and challenges of adopting such technologies for biodiversity conservation. The application of interim ecological monitoring methodology contributes to completion of the available data base for the actual condition of ecosystems considering different influence indicators. This paper demonstrates that interim remote sensing data can offer valuable information about diversity patterns and has the potential to become an effective tool in biodiversity evaluation and conservation. The review highlights the aspects and perspectives for interim ecological monitoring application in view of remote sensing potential for investigating the environmental and ecological processes, analyzing the condition of the landscape features and species diversity. This paper emphasizes on the possibilities of interim ecological monitoring to provide decision-makers with high quality and consistent data on ecosystems services potential.
