Traditional methods of acquiring information on tree species, like forest inventories and field-based approaches, are often time-intensive, costly, and impractical for large-scale applications, making remote sensing a feasible alternative. This study compared and combined two multispectral remote sensing datasets, including Sentinel-2 (S2) and PlanetScope (PS), for tree species classification in two Austrian forest ecosystems: the riparian forests of the National Park Donau-Auen (NPDA), where nine tree species were distinguished, and the forests of the Biosphere Reserve Wienerwald (BRWW) where 12 species were investigated. Mono-temporal and multi-temporal data from S2 and PS were analyzed individually and in combination (S2 + PS). A robust reference dataset (835 samples in NPDA and 1283 in BRWW) and a Random Forest algorithm with recursive feature selection were used for classifications. When comparing mono-temporal datasets, S2 consistently outperformed PS, achieving the highest overall accuracies of 63.7 % for NPDA and 70.6 % for BRWW, compared to 58.1 % and 57.4 % with PS. Using multi-temporal S2 data further enhanced classification accuracy, reaching 78.3 % for NPDA and 83.3 % for BRWW, while multi-temporal PS data achieved 74.4 % and 77.7 %, respectively. Combining datasets in NPDA demonstrates an improvement of 1.8 and 5.7 percentage points compared to the sole use of S2 and PS multi-temporal data, respectively. In BRWW, the improvement was 1.3 and 6.9 percentage points. Classification accuracies were higher in BRWW, likely due to its larger reference dataset and the inclusion of more phenologically and morphologically distinct tree species. Overall, this study highlighted the superior performance of S2, particularly in mono-temporal analyses, the added value of combining S2 and PS datasets, and the well-known advantages of using multi-temporal datasets. Notably, the study fairly distinguished between three closely related Poplar species, including <em>Populus alba</em>, <em>Populus × canadensis</em>, and <em>Populus nigra,</em> in riparian forests of NPDA, which is also of great interest from a nature conservation perspective.

Studies have shown peat surface oscillation (PSO) dynamics vary with peat degradation, highlighting their potential as indicators of restoration progress. This study explores the feasibility of large-scale PSO analysis in tropical peatlands in Kalimantan using a series of spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. We applied time-series interferometric SAR (TInSAR) analysis to three years of Sentinel-1 C-band SAR data to derive displacement time-series across the study area. The displacement data were further decomposed into long-term and short-term components using Seasonal-Trend decomposition based on Loess (STL) to estimate PSO. The estimated PSO was then compared with in-situ GWL data to analyze their relationship and reveal the oscillation coefficient, defined as the slope of this relationship. Our results revealed a statistically significant linear relationship between PSO and GWL dynamics, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.23 to 0.8. The derived oscillation coefficients at in-situ locations indicated that peat elevation change accounted for 2.8 %–8.3 % of GWL variation. Additionally, the PSO amplitude was found to be greater in degraded peatlands than in less degraded ones.

To gain a comprehensive understanding of seagrass dynamics, it is essential to obtain spatial and temporal information on seagrass AGC. The most effective approach for mapping the dynamics of seagrass AGC is remote sensing; however, limited robustness of the mapping model limits their applicability across different locations. To address this issue, we developed a robust model for mapping seagrass AGC, with the objective of capturing the dynamics of seagrass AGC in intertidal seagrass meadows. Using seagrass field data and assuming that pure seagrass and sand pixels have 100 % and 0 % seagrass cover, respectively, we trained stepwise, machine learning (random forest, support vector machine, and multivariate adaptive regression spline), and deep learning (dense neural network) regression models to convert Sentinel-2 reflectance into seagrass AGC. The accuracy of the models was evaluated at multiple sites with available field data, and the results demonstrated an RMSE ranging from 6.28 to 13.97 g C m<sup>−2</sup> and a correlation coefficient between 0.69 and 0.83. Overall, the SVM regression model exhibited the highest accuracy. The SVM model was subsequently applied to 13 seagrass sites across Indonesia over a 36-month period, revealing consistent and recurring monthly and bimonthly AGC patterns. The majority of seagrass meadows exhibited their highest AGC during the May–June period and their lowest during the September–October period. This study also represents the first time-series mapping of seagrass AGC in Indonesia on a monthly and bimonthly basis, marking a significant advancement in understanding seagrass's potential as a blue carbon sink.

Fortunately, there are still traditional agroecosystems, such as the World Heritage Palm Grove (WHPG) of Elche (Spain), whose effect on urban temperature regulation requires evaluation. A time series of satellite remote sensing images was used to analyse the dynamics of land surface temperature (LST). Different statistical procedures (e.g., Kruskall-Wallis test, Friedman test) were used to determine the temperature attenuation effect throughout the year by the diverse land covers and green areas. Significant differences in LST between the agroecosystem conserved within the WHPG and the rest of the city were observed, with their cooling effect extending several hectometers around its perimeter. It was shown that the date palm grove and its traditional irrigation system have a significant regulatory effect on the LST and, consequently, on the attenuation of heat islands.
