This paper presents a streamlined approach to describing potential habitats for red deer (Cervus elaphus) in situations where situ data collected through observations and monitoring are absent or insufficient. The main objectives of this study were as follows: (a) minimize the negative effects limited data; (b) identify landscape features with functional relationship between habitat quality structure; (c) use imprecise statistical analyses specify these relationships. test area was located eastern part Mecklenburg-Western Pomeriania (Germany). For area, remotely sensed forest maps used determine metrics independent variables. Dichotomous suitability determined based on hunting distances over five-year period. Ecological biological requirements derived from suitable measures, which served model inputs. Correlation analysis identified most relevant metrics. Logistic regression then tested various metric combinations at both class levels assess suitability. Within variants, contagion index, edge density, percentage forested showed largest relative impact can also be applied other mammals, provided there appropriate structural preferences empirical

The interactions between landscape structure, land use intensity (LUI), climate change, and ecological processes significantly impact hydrological processes, affecting water quality. Monitoring these factors is crucial for understanding their influence on Remote sensing (RS) provides a continuous, standardized approach to capture structures, LUI, changes over long-term time series.

Changes and disturbances to water diversity quality are complex multi-scale in space time. Although situ methods provide detailed point information on the condition of bodies, they limited use for making area-based monitoring over time, as aquatic ecosystems extremely dynamic. Remote sensing (RS) provides data cost-effective, comprehensive, continuous standardised characteristics changes from local regional scales scale entire continents. In order apply better understand RS techniques their derived spectral indicators quality, this study defines five that can be monitored using RS. These traits, genesis, structural water, taxonomic functional water. It is essential record traits derive other four Furthermore, only most important interface between approaches. The these technologies presented detail discussed numerous examples. Finally, current future developments advance trait approach modelling, prediction assessment a basis successful management strategies.

One of the greatest challenges our time is monitoring rapid environmental changes taking place worldwide at both local and global scales. This requires easy-to-use ready-to-implement tools services to monitor quantify aspects bio- geodiversity change impact land use intensification using freely available remotely sensed data, derive indicators. Currently, there are no for quantifying raster- vector-based indicators in a “compact tool”. Therefore, main innovation ESIS/Imalys having remote sensing (RS) tool that allows RS data processing, management, continuous discrete quantification derivation one tool. With project (Ecosystem Integrity Remote Sensing—Modelling Service Tool), we try present on clearly defined reproducible basis. The Imalys software library generates products ESIS. paper provides an overview functionality library. An technical background implementation library, formats user interfaces given. Examples RS-based derived pixel level zone (vector level) presented. Furthermore, advantages disadvantages discussed detail order better assess value users developers. applicability will be demonstrated through three ecological applications, namely: (1) landscape diversity, (2) structure fragmentation, (3) intensity its ecosystem functions. Despite integration large amounts can run any PC, as processing has been greatly optimised. source code hosted maintained under open license.

Remote sensing has become an important tool and service for environmental research, especially landscape analysis. Moreover, the spatial distribution development of remotely sensed parameters can effectively complement extend medical, biological, ecological geographical tasks. However, data acquisition, analysis selection appropriate methods are still time-consuming. The ESIS (EcoSystem Integrity Service) project aims to establish indicators on a well-defined reproducible basis. Imalys software library is designed produce specified as raster- vector products from remote data. These include various diversity, boundaries, density elements structures, basic land cover types. All processes sensor independent, scale invariant applicable worldwide.

As the 21st century advances, demand for rare earth elements (REEs) is rising, necessitating more robust exploration methods. Our research group using hyperspectral remote sensing as a tool mapping REEs. Unique spectral features of bastnaesite mineral, has proven effective detection REE with both spaceborne and airborne data. In our study, we collected data Senop camera in field SPECIM laboratory settings. Data gathered from California’s Mountain Pass district revealed bastnaesite-rich zones provided detailed insights into distribution within rocks. Further analysis identified specific rock grains. results indicated higher concentrations carbonatite rocks compared to alkaline igneous Additionally, Sulphide Queen mine showed richer than those Birthday shonkinite stock. Results were validated thin-section studies geochemical data, confirming reliability across different modalities. This study demonstrates potential drone-based technology augmenting conventional mineral methods aiding mining industry making informed decisions about REEs efficiently effectively.

Through exploration multi-dimensional satellites, research papers emphasize LiDAR and multispectral imaging effective integration GIS. These techniques demonstrate how they can be used to tackle today's problems. Spatial mapping informed decision-making solve complex problems created by loss at core level. And lastly, chapter stresses importance all protecting ecosystems, using integrated approaches which combine advantages preserve for a long time.
