Remote sensing techniques and geographic information systems for wetland conservation and management: monitoring scrub encroachment in Biebrza National Park

摘要: The Biebrza National Park in Poland is one of the most precious wetland areas Europe. It was established 1993 and designated Ramsar site 1995. Despite its protection status, open landscape currently being threatened by encroachment shrubs trees, assumed to have a negative effect on biodiversity. national park looking for effective management strategies halt this unwanted vegetation succession. Information required current situation, rate scrub underlying causes, more insight needed into different succession types, stages phases (temporal aspects) expansion types (spatial relation conditions. In present project, first step made towards monitoring system based remote sensing GIS.
