Description
Summary:The increasing degradation of natural ecosystems due to human activities has led to a global concern for conservation and restoration efforts. The large variety of ecosystems, theories, frameworks, models, and analysis methods, have made the evaluation of damaged natural ecosystems and their restoration effects the subject of much scientific investigation. Remote sensing techniques have proven to be valuable tools for monitoring and assessing the impact of ecological restorations. This special issue focuses on the use of remote sensing to identify degraded natural ecosystems and to assess the impact of ecological restorations. •Remote sensing techniques have proven to be valuable tools for monitoring and assessing the impact of ecological restorations.•The special issue features a diverse range of publications that cover various topics related to remote sensing and ecological restoration.•The selected publications in this special issue provide valuable insights into the use of remote sensing techniques for ecological restoration.
