résumé

Remote sensing for ecosystem mainly focuses on types and patterns identification, functions monitoring, services assessment and processes analysis of ecosystem by remote sensing based methods. The new generation of satellites and sensors provide additional earth observation data sources for ecosystem monitoring. However, the identification capability of ecosystem types has yet to be improved, which put forward higher request to intelligent information extraction (in the Big Data Era). For ecosystem function monitoring, it is necessary to fully exploit the hidden features of remote sensing data and develop new indicators that are easy to process and reflect the functional characteristics of ecosystem. In addition, advanced models are needed to better assess ecosystem services by analyzing the implicit process and performance of ecosystem. Combination with the cloud platform is the future trends of remote sensing for ecosystem, which will provide opportunities for the public participation in ecological protection, and will provide more data support for ecological effects assessment of key projects.
