Abstract

Introduction - Earth Observation (EO) refers to the direct and indirect measurement of the Earth’s surface that can be undertaken using satellites, aircraft, on the ground and underwater using active and passive sensors (O’Connor et al., 2015). EO provides a valuable source of information for biodiversity monitoring of tropical forests (chapter 2; Turner et al., 2003; Gillespie et al., 2008; O’Connor et al., 2015), in particular from space-based platforms due to their extensive spatial and temporal coverage. With data from the new Copernicus Sentinel satellites now coming online and the planned Biomass mission of the European Space Agency (ESA), biodiversity monitoring could greatly benefit from these higher spatial and temporal resolution measurements....
