The integration of field survey and remote sensing for biodiversity assessment: a case study in the tropical forests and wetlands of Sango Bay, Uganda
TLDR
In this article, field surveys of plants and animals were combined with satellite remote sensing of broad vegetation types to map biodiversity and thereby help plan conservation in the Sango Bay area, some 30 by 100 kilometres bordering Lake Victoria in Uganda.About:

Satellite remote sensing of wetlands
Stacy L. Özesmi,Marvin E. Bauer +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the literature on satellite remotesensing of wetlands, including what classification techniques were most successful in identifying wetlands and separating them from other land cover types, is presented in this paper.

Satellite remote sensing of forest resources: three decades of research development
Doreen S. Boyd,F. M. Danson +1 more

Effects of spatial and spectral resolution in estimating ecosystem α-diversity by satellite imagery
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of scale (both as spatial and spectral resolution) when searching for a relation between spectral and spatial (related to plant species richness) heterogeneity, by using satellite data with different spatial and spectrum resolution was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the utility of the Carnegie Airborne Observatory (CAO) hyperspectral data, and WorldView-2 and Quickbird multispectral spectral data and a combined spectral+tree height dataset (derived from the CAO LiDAR system) for mapping seven common savanna tree species or genera in the Sabi Sands Reserve and communal lands adjacent to Kruger National Park, South Africa.

NDVI-derived land cover classifications at a global scale
Ruth DeFries,John R. Townshend +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a coarse spatial resolution (one by one degree) data set of monthly NDVI values for 1987 was used to explore the methodological issues of identifying land cover types that are spectrally distinct and applicable at the global scale, accounting for phasing of seasons in different parts of the world, validating results in the absence of reliable information on global land cover, and acquiring high quality global data sets of satellite sensor data for input to land cover classifications.

The decline of the native fishes of lakes Victoria and Kyoga (East Africa) and the impact of introduced species, especially the Nile perch, Lates niloticus, and the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
TL;DR: The Nile perch, Lates niloticus, a large, voracious predator which was introduced into these lakes about the middle of the century along with several tilapiine species, is thought to have caused the reduction in the stocks of several species.
