Remote sensing of vegetation is becoming increasingly relevant as a tool for habitat monitoring and for developing countermeasures against the loss of biodiversity, habitat fragmentation and landscape change, given natural variation in vegetation composition and structure. Of course, remote sensing should be viewed as an exploratory tool for vegetation monitoring that cannot replace field-based surveys which enable scientists to gather much more detailed information on vegetation properties. We hope readers will appreciate our effort to collect interesting articles on the use of remote sensing in applied vegetation science, covering a wide range of interesting themes and innovative methodologies.
