Remote sensing is a powerful tool for monitoring and understanding the Earth’s ecosystems and their changes in terms of land cover and use, vegetation, soil, water, atmosphere, climate, and so on. These observations play a crucial role in revealing the spatial patterns, temporal dynamics, and causal mechanisms behind environmental phenomena and processes. With the rapid development of satellite sensing systems and artificial intelligence, scientists have achieved significant breakthroughs in the field of environmental remote sensing in recent decades. These advancements have not only enriched our understanding and management of the Earth’s environment and its changes but also contributed to addressing global environmental challenges and promoting sustainable development.
This Research Topic aims to highlight the latest innovations and achievements of remote sensing in ecological environments advancing our understanding of Earth's diverse ecosystems and dynamic processes. We welcome original research and review articles that explore the applications and innovations of satellite remote sensing measurements in monitoring changes in the ecological environment. This includes analyzing and modeling the impacts of natural events and human activities on ecosystems, as well as identifying management solutions that foster ecosystem sustainability. Additionally, we encourage contributions that explore the integration and fusion of remote sensing with cutting-edge techniques, such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, and cloud computing for data processing and analysis, pattern recognition and prediction, spatial modeling, and decision-making.
