Voranalysen von Sentinel-2-Zeitreihen als Basis für fernerkundungsgestützte Biotopkartierungen in der AlpinzonePreliminary Analysis of Sentinel-2 Time Series for EO-based Biotope Mapping in the Alpine Zone

For the interpretation of non-accessible biotopes and habitat types in the Alpine zone, the usage of satellite remote sensing is currently promoted. Recent sensor technology and the availability of satellite data, such as the European Sentinel-2 with high spatial resolution and a high repetition rate of up to 5 days, bear a great potential to support biotope mapping. The paper discusses the results of a desk study carried out within the Bridge project EO4BTAlps with the aim of assessing the suitability of Sentinel-2 for targeted VHR image tasking and field work planning based on phenological time series analysis.
