Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Worldwide, the sustainability of grassland ecosystems is under threat due to human disturbance and climate change. Grassland ecosystems provide a variety of goods and services, yet information on the status of these ecosystems is scant. Remote sensing provides a suitable tool for monitoring grassland biophysical characteristics at multi-spatial and multi-temporal scales.
Researchers are encouraged to contribute to a Special Issue of Sensors entitled “Remote Sensing Application for Monitoring Grassland”. This Special Issue will offer a collection of papers on remote sensing applications in a variety of grassland ecosystems under different management systems, and highlight improvements in approaches to the use of multi-spatial, multi-spectral, and multi-temporal remote sensing for grassland ecosystem monitoring.
