Biodiversity Conservation Planning and Assessment

Dear Colleagues,

How to quantitatively assess biodiversity is a core issue in ecology and biodiversity science. Today, various techniques such as remote sensing, spatial analysis, and landscape metrics have been applied to biodiversity assessment and planning. In this Special Issue, we encourage the submission of the manuscripts exploring the following, and related, topics:

• Assessment of multiple level biodiversity via various techniques as remote sensing, spatial analysis;
• Development of new approaches in assessing biodiversity at site, local, or regional scales;
• Biodiversity conservation planning: from core zone design to landscape planning;
• Assessment of the effects of climate change, environmental filtering or human disturbance on biodiversity.
