Biodiversity assessment at multiple scales: linking remotely sensed data with field information.
We examine the efficacy of a scheme of multiscale assessment of biodiversity linking remote sensing on larger spatial scales with localized field sampling. A classification of ecological entities from biosphere to individual organisms in the form of a nested hierarchy is employed, such that entities at any level are differentiated in terms of their composition/configuration involving entities a...
متن کاملPredicting Mammal Species Richness from Remotely Sensed Data at Dif- ferent Spatial Scales
Spatial variability in species richness has been postulated to depend upon environmental factors such as climatic variability, Net primary productivity and habitat heterogeneity. The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)-Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) has been shown to be correlated with climatic variability, Net primary productivity and habitat heterogeneity. Moreover...

متن کاملCommercial Remotely Sensed (CRS) Data
Natural disasters can severely impact transportation networks. In the hours and days following a major flooding event, knowing the location and extent of the damage is crucial for incident managers for a number of reasons: it allows for emergency vehicle access to affected areas; it facilitates the efficient rerouting of traffic; it raises the quality and reduces the cost of repairs; and it all...
متن کاملVerification Using Remotely Sensed Data
Soil moisture is an important hydrologic variable that controls various land surface processes. In spite of its importance to agriculture and drought monitoring, soil moisture information is not widely available on a regional scale. However, long-term soil moisture information is essential for agricultural drought monitoring and crop yield prediction. The hydrologic model Soil and Water Assessm...
