Biodiversity is a complex property of landscape not trivial to map, especially not at high spatial resolution. The OEMC project aims to create a spatial product that estimates biodiversity by using spatial characteristics as proxy.
What is the challenge?
Developing indicators of diversity is both computationally and conceptually challenging, as ensuring that remotely-sensed diversity aligns with on-the-ground assessments.
Our solution
We explore methods to assess spectral and functional diversity and validate their correlation with in-situ measured vegetation diversity.
Who will benefit?
Restoration and conservation practitioners, along with platforms like Restor.eco, can use this data to support decision-making and demonstrate on-the-ground impact.
