Abstract (sommario):
Monitoring vegetation dynamics represents a fundamental practice to evaluate the response of the vegetation to environmental changes. Optical proximal sensed data allow the monitoring of the temporal and spatial variability of vegetation properties under natural conditions. Vegetation optical properties can be used to indirectly derive information about the phenological and/or physiological status of the plants. Optical sensors commonly used in the field can be divided into broadband sensors (usually multispectral, e.g. RGB cameras) and narrowband sensors (both multispectral and hyperspectral

Quantitative monitoring of vegetation change over time is essential in understanding the environmental processes of which are important in climate change and global warming models, because vegetation change is an indicator of environmental variability.

Stress causes crops to grow below their potential and this affects the vitality and physiological functioning of the plants at all levels leading to reduction in yield. Remote sensing of vegetation is regarded as a valuable tool for the detection and discrimination of stress, especially over large or sensitive regions. The main aim of the research carried out is to assess the potential of remote sensing to detect CO2 leakage from CCS repositories. Further to this, the capability of remote sensing to discriminate between stresses with similar mode of action is explored. Two stress factors were

Herbaceous vegetation could be estimated to within t 150 kgha 1 at an 80% confidence level up to 1300 kgha -1. Establishing site positions was found to be a primary obstacle when selecting suitable sampling areas. Suggested is the use of Landsat MSS image hard-copies in combination with a global position

These can be natural processes like natural disasters as well as changes caused by anthropogenic interventions.

Abstract (sommario):
Surface coal mining leads to inevitable changes and notable impact on the physical environment of the earth and engenders immense damage to the landscape and the ecological environment. The dramatic high-speed rock digging and disturbance unavoidably causes ecosystem degradation and destruction. Detecting how surface coal mining affects the environment on the process of land use/cover change is one of the primary concerns to preserve nature and minimize the environmental impacts. Therefore, monitoring and understanding the environmental impact processes in mining areas is critical for sustaina

Abstract (sommario):
In 1989 about 1.5 million soldiers were stationed in Germany. With the political changes in the early 1990s a substantial decline of the staff occurred on currently 200,000 employees in the armed forces and less than 60,000 soldiers of foreign forces. These processes entailed conversions of large areas not longer used for military purposes, especially in the new federal states in the eastern part of Germany. One of these conversion areas is the former military training area Königsbrück in Saxony. For the analysis of vegetation and its development over time, the Normalized Difference Vegetation

Abstract (sommario):
The African Elephant is a key component of the savanna ecosystem. They contribute to the generation of habitat for smaller vertebrates, as well as invertebrates, by the breaking of branches or uprooting of trees. Elephants also play a role in seed dispersal, germination and sapling recruitment. All these functions are advantageous to the ecosystem if the elephant population size is acceptable for the size of the reserve and the amount of available forage. The Tembe Elephant Park covers an area of 30 013 ha and is situated in northern KwaZulu Natal. This reserve has a diversity of vegetat

Abstract (sommario):
The principal objective of this thesis was to investigate the use of remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) technology in the survey and monitoring of semi-natural, vegetation. The effects of acidic deposition and airborne pollutants on vegetation were of particular interest during the 1980s and early 1990s. A first experiment studied the effect of simulated acid rain on the reflectance of birch seedlings. Plants exposed to acidic treatments lost the characteristic reflectance curve shape of healthy green vegetation. Spectroradiometer data were used to discriminate between pl
