The means and uses of RS to link biodiversity with other relevant ecosystem
metrics are manifold, and some are covered in detail in other chapters within this
book. A compilation of some of the major RS data types and sensors used for vegetation analyses at the landscape scale are provided in Fig. 17.1. Here, we discuss
strengths, weaknesses, and caveats of linking RS with in-situ data to address the
themes of ecosystem functioning and conservation of biodiversity.
Fig. 17.1 Non-exhaustive compilation of some of the major RS data types and sensors used for
vegetation analyses at the landscape scale, revisit times (line style and symbols), spatial resolution
(from low resolution at the top to high resolution at the bottom), sensor types (colors), and years
