这一观点讨论了如何利用遥感的最新进展来回答基本的生态和进化问题，以及如何有助于重要的生物多样性监测，通过对生态系统的结构、组成和功能的测量，揭示生物多样性的空间和时间维度，遥感已经改变了对地球上生命的监测。然而，地球生物多样性的许多方面并不能通过反射或发射的光子直接量化。为了充分了解和保护地球的生物多样性，需要将遥感与实地生态学和进化全面结合起来。在这个角度来看，我们认为，多种数据类型是必要的，几乎所有的生物多样性公约草案的目标。我们研究了生物多样性科学中的五个关键主题，这些主题可以通过将遥感与实地采样，实验和实验室研究的原位数据收集相结合来促进保护。要减少将这些方法结合在一起的障碍，就需要全球范围的合作。
This Perspective discusses how the latest advances in remote sensing can be used to answer basic ecological and evolutionary questions, as well as contribute to important biodiversity monitoring.Remote sensing has transformed the monitoring of life on Earth by revealing spatial and temporal dimensions of biological diversity through structural, compositional and functional measurements of ecosystems. Yet, many aspects of Earth's biodiversity are not directly quantified by reflected or emitted photons. Inclusive integration of remote sensing with field-based ecology and evolution is needed to fully understand and preserve Earth's biodiversity. In this Perspective, we argue that multiple data types are necessary for almost all draft targets set by the Convention on Biological Diversity. We examine five key topics in biodiversity science that can be advanced by integrating remote sensing with in situ data collection from field sampling, experiments and laboratory studies to benefit conservation. Lowering the barriers for bringing these approaches together will require global-scale collaboration.
