The Role of Remote Sensing in LTER Projects

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Long-Term Ecological Research

Abstract

All Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) asks for spatially explicit information. Remote sensing-based data and related analysis products are major sources of such information. This chapter expands on general concepts of remote sensing and most important methodologies in relation to LTER. Examples from US-LTER sites exemplify opportunities related to remote sensing.
