“…Optical remote sensing has long been recognized as a pivotal tool in estimating species diversity [31]. Advances in technology that combine high spatial and spectral resolution data allow for the reliable identification of functional groups, individual species and sometimes even individual trees [29,32,33].…”

“…Because there is frequently an either explicit or implicit link between habitats and distinct groups of species (''coherence within classes''; Mac Nally et al 2002), habitat maps represent a key surrogate of biodiversity for conservation planning (Margules and Pressey 2000). Consequently, there is now an extensive literature on the subject of the assessment and monitoring of biodiversity through the use of remote sensing in terrestrial systems (e.g., Stoms andEstes 1993, Nagendra andGadgil 1999). Subsequent application of this work to reserve planning seems clear: Habitat heterogeneity generally positively correlates with the cumulative number of species in the area, and should be a prime factor for choosing among alternative sites for reserves (Roberts et al 2003).…”

“…Richness refers to the number of patch types present; because many organisms are associated with a single type, patch richness may correlate well with species richness (McGarigal and Marks 1993). Following this line of reasoning, Stoms and Estes (1993) outline a remote sensing agenda for mapping and monitoring biodiversity which focuses almost exclusively on species richness. Evenness, on the other hand, refers to the distribution of area or abundance among patch types.…”
