Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant resources are essential for a sustainable environment through biodiversity conservation as a basis for the ecosystem. Ecosystems can be effectively preserved and managed through optimal conservation strategies that stand on a precise measurement of the current status and changing trends together with integrated consideration of other aspects. Notwithstanding the enormous efforts of academic researchers and environmental conservation groups, a science-based solution to conservation strategies remains to be sought continuously. As technologies including remote sensing, big data, and machine learning have evolved, it allows this innovative approach to managing biodiversity and the ecosystem. This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in biodiversity/ecosystem management using state-of-the-art technology.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Promoting knowledge of dynamic drivers, patterns, and processes of ecosystem change due to climate change and land-use change;
- Quantifying and mapping habitat conditions including quality, structure, and functions of the ecosystem;
- Innovative assessment method of response and management of biodiversity/ecosystem using new techniques;
- Evaluation of the co-benefits or trade-offs of other aspects (food and energy security, carbon neutrality, economic development, etc.) according to conserving biodiversity/ecosystem;
- Novel approaches for managing ecosystems considering practical linkage with global environmental issues under climate change and land-use change.
