Habitat mapping of coastal wetlands using expert knowledge and Earth observation data

摘要

1. Long-term habitat mapping and change detection arc essential for the management of coastal wetlands as well as for evaluating the impact of conservation policies. Earth observation (EO) data and techniques are a valuable resource for long-term habitat mapping. Although the use of EO data is well developed for the automatic production of land cover (LC) maps, this is not the same for habitat maps, which arc highly related to biodiversity.
