Effects of Natura 2000 and habitat variables used for habitat assessment on beetle assemblages in European beech forests

Habitat Quality Analysis of Natura 2000 Riparian Forests

Riparian forests are sensitive habitats with a rich biodiversity and an important function as corridors for movement of wildlife. In Europe, many of these precious habitats are protected sites within the Natura 2000 network, where monitoring results have to be reported every six years. Satellite imagery provides key benefits for monitoring nature protection areas where political borders, rough ...

Habitat Mapping and Quality Assessment of NATURA 2000 Heathland Using Airborne Imaging Spectroscopy

Appropriate management of (semi-)natural areas requires detailed knowledge of the ecosystems present and their status. Remote sensing can provide a systematic, synoptic view at regular time intervals, and is therefore often suggested as a powerful tool to assist with the mapping and monitoring of protected habitats and vegetation. In this study, we present a multi-step mapping framework that en...

Natura 2000 Habitat Identification and Conservation Status Assessment with Superresolution Enhanced Hyperspectral (chris/proba) Imagery

Monitoring and reporting on the status of Natura 2000 habitats is an obligation under the 1992 Habitats Directive for each member state of the European Union (EU). Satellite imagery providing up-to-date information for a large areal coverage could be an interesting source to complement conventional, but laborious, field-driven surveying methods. Quality of habitats can be assessed through their...
