Linking Remote Sensing and In Situ Ecosystem/Biodiversity Observations by “Satellite Ecology”

Climate change and human activity (land use change and management) are the major drivers of changes in biodiversity, which ranges from the genetic composition of a given population to the structure and functions in an ecosystem and to the ecosystems in a landscape. The structural and functional diversity of an ecosystem on a landscape or regional scale could have a serious impact on the regional to global environmental sustainability and ecosystem services. Also, those ecosystem properties could have feedback effects on the population, individual, and genetic levels (e.g., Schulze and Mooney 1994). These cross-hierarchy consequences strongly suggest the need for understanding the relations between ecosystem properties and their internal and external drivers (Noss 1990; Scholes et al. 2008).
