Maintaining pastures as a natural resource is easily to been done by the application of GIS and remote sensing tools to develop accurate classification maps, e.g. pastures, hay meadows, grassland. The combination of digital data and spatial technology enables detailed and useful monitoring of aboveground green vegetation biomass and grassland composition. Besides, resources and attributes can be monitored for knowledge management and long-term decision planning.
-
Mapping of pasture/ grassland ecosystem services and understanding of its contribution to human well-being
-
Facilitate regular monitoring at the management level
-
Short-term study of the positive and negative effects on pasture or grassland areas
-
Existence of relevant legal bases and close involvement of relevant bodies in the planning process
-
All factors that may affect pastures should be identified as spatial data
-
Mapping and monitoring changes in grassland vegetation cover is essential to understand grasslands dynamics
-
Reliable monitoring of changes in vegetation cover in grasslands is crucial for accurate and sustainable land management
-
Gathering more field/ ground truthing data was one of the important notes
-
It is vital to test and demonstrate different geospatial analyses to showcase what measures have the most impact on which erosion/degredadion situations and foster understanding for the solutions.
