Sensoriamento remoto em ecologia da paisagem: estado da arte

Abstract

The studies landscape ecology how spatial patterns influence ecological processes and to use this information and land cover from remote sensing are indispensable for carrying the out analyzes. This review article discusses how Remote Sensing was used in Landscape Ecology in the last five years. For this was made a systematic review of the literature with supporting the program State of the Art - START designed specifically for this purpose, considering journal articles indexed with an impact factor greater than 2. The survey was conducted from questions such as what topics more are being researched in recent years? What kind of approach is being applied? And what remote sensing techniques (SR) are being used in landscape ecology research? These questions were answered by the vast scientific literature available. Research has shown that the most searched topics were spatial pattern and dynamics, both with about 24% of the full analyzed articles. The methodological approach was the most used by researchers with 61% of the total and the preprocessing was the most widely applied technique with 81% of the total.
