A Comparison of the Signal from Diverse Optical Sensors for Monitoring Alpine Grassland Dynamics

A Comparison of the Signal from Diverse Optical Sensors for Monitoring Alpine Grassland Dynamics

Grasslands cover up to 40% of the mountain areas globally and 23% of the European Alps and affect numerous key ecological processes. An increasing number of optical sensors offer a great opportunity to monitor and address dynamic changes in the growth and status of grassland vegetation due to climat...
