TL;DR: This contribution aims to advance the development of a global biodiversity monitoring strategy by updating the previously published definition of EBV, providing a definition of satellite remote sensing EBVs and introducing a set of principles that are believed to be necessary if ecologists and space agencies are to agree on a list of EBVs that can be routinely monitored from space.

TL;DR: This paper provides an overview of the eight main global and regional scale agricultural monitoring systems currently in operation and compares them based on the input data and models used, the outputs produced and other characteristics such as the role of the analyst, their interaction with other systems and the geographical scale at which they operate.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of landscape metrics served as a basis to assess naturalness and geometrisation of Austrian and European landscapes as a proxy for their sustainability, and applied a spatial reference framework consisting in units that are homogeneous in biophysical and socioeconomic contexts.

TL;DR: The study shows that it is feasible to count individual plants using UAV-based off-the-shelf products and that via machine vision/learning algorithms it is possible to translate image data in non-expert practical information.

TL;DR: In this paper, a spatial regional reference framework (SRRF) is proposed to allow an efficient assessment of sustainability impact indicators across Europe, in order to define relatively homogeneous regions, in terms of both biophysical and socioeconomic characteristics.
