In the context of the BETA-FOR project, a field trip was conducted in the University Forest of JMU (close to Hassfurt), Saarland and Nationalpark Hunsrück-Hochwald in order to conduct measurements of the extent of the patches under study and support other PhD students of BETA-FOR setting up insect traps, sound recorder or camera traps. Therefore, observations from airborne and spaceborne remote sensing sensors can be linked to in-situ measurements of biodiversity. This interdisciplinary and multi-scale approach of BETA-FOR allows to bridge the analysis of alpha- and beta-diversity to gamma-scale for larger-scale understanding to enhance the structural complexity of forests by improving multidiversity and multifunctionality.
AQUAMOS: New Project on Mosquito Breeding Habitats and Early-Warning Systems
In October 2026, the EORC launched AQUAMOS: “AQUAtic Breeding Habitats and Early MOSquito Warning Systems Using Remote Sensing and Environmental Monitoring”. The pilot project aims to develop a monitoring and early-warning approach for the formation of temporary water...
