Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of vegetation in wetscapes 2.0 through multi-sensor Earth observation time series data (C04)

• Subject Area: Geodesy, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Geoinformatics, Cartography
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 531801029

We will produce spatially continuous maps using Earth Observation data that (1) achieve a higher level of thematic detail than regularly available maps, (2) quantify vegetation cover annually (species coverage) and intra-annually, and (3) help to extrapolate biomass estimates. This will be used to analyze the effects of rewetting on vegetation cover and to describe or disaggregate identified processes throughout space and/or time.
