The Technology of Remote Sensing and its Application to Terrestrial Ecosystem Restoration

摘要

Terrestrial ecosystems as the most important type of ecological system provide humanity with a main part of the living environment, food and clothing. However, many of ecological environmental have been severely damaged by human being's irrational activities, such as mining, deforestation, excavation herbs, etc. Faced with ecological and environmental protection pressure, it's urgent to carry out ecological restoration projects according to the local conditions. Remote sensing technology is widely used in terrestrial ecosystems restoration because of its objectivity, real-timing, accuracy, covering a wide area and other unique advantages. This article discusses the restoration of terrestrial ecosystems based on remote sensing technology. At last, it analyses development trends of this research area.
