Claudia Kuenzer,Marco Ottinger,Martin Wegmann,Huadong Guo,Changlin Wang,Jianzhong Zhang,Stefan Dech,Martin Wikelski +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present, categorize, and discuss what spaceborne remote sensing has contributed to the study of animal and vegetation biodiversity, which different types of variables of value for the biodiversity community can be derived from remote-sensing data, and which types of spaceborne sensor data are available for which time spans, and at which spatial and temporal resolution.

Vegetation changes during a 36‐year period in northern Chobe National Park, Botswana
TL;DR: A significant decrease in browse use is found with increasing distance to the Chobe river for Combretum apiculatum,combretum elaeagnoides, combretum mossambicense and other woody plants combined, and there is no change in the density of any of the shrubs.

The influence of savannah elephants on vegetation: a case study in the Tembe Elephant Park, South Africa
TL;DR: For example, Guldemond et al. as discussed by the authors compared the space and landscape utilization of elephants living in the Tembe Elephant Park in Maputaland, South Africa, with those of free-ranging elephant living in southern Mozambique.

Demonstrating Surrogacy of Animal Diversity with Plant Diversity and Their Integration to Assess Inclusive Biodiversity: A Geoinformatics Basis
TL;DR: The congruence between plant and animal biological richness was studied by extending the scope of methodology from past studies in order to understand the question; does higher plant richness encourages higher animal richness?

The Development of a Land Use/Land Cover Classification System and an Application of its Usage in Botswana
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a hierarchical classification system for land-use planning and agricultural development in Botswana, based on aerial photographs and land-at imagery, which is a prototype for a national Botswana scheme.
