摘要: The Habitats Directive (HD) and the associated Natura 2000 Network represent major commitment of European Union to biodiversity conservation. They are aimed at maintaining natural habitats in a favourable conservation status, which is assessed every 6 years by member states under legal obligation derived from HD Articles 11 17. Such assessment relies on compositional structural attributes, but should also consider ecosystem functions. Monitoring such functions represents an opportunity incorporate Remote Sensing (RS) into real-world monitoring efforts. Here, we introduce set prospects issues connected with RS aided services within framework reporting obligations HD.
