Environmental mapping of Pollino National Park (southern Italy) by means of airborne remotely sensed data

摘要: In southern Italy the Basilicata Region authorities are strongly active in monitoring regional environment for planning actions to undertake. To this aim has been promoting dedicated remote sensing activities. The criteria adopted starting initiatives based on use of best available technologies and their integration with standard methodologies (satellite airborne data integrated ground measurements) devoted management territory. Airborne surveys were deployed mainly derive main land cover vegetative units allows outset detailed studies physical-chemical characteristics natural (geologic outcrop species discrimination) materials park zones highly protected. resulting thematic map at 1:10.000 scale is, comparison ones, a better detail whether term number classes depicted or distribution. spectral resolution also evidenced aptitude maps describe local ecosystem biophysical important variables useful implications allow correct parameterization surface modeling community.© (2002) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society Optical Engineering.
