摘要：Remote sensing imagery and advanced image analysis methods show high potential formonitoring forest habitat issues. The objective of this paper is to provide ready-to-useinformation on forest habitats by conducting a multi-scale approach for the delineation ofsuch, and the assessment of their conservation status on multi-spectral satellite imagery ofhigh and very high spatial resolution, as well as LiDAR data. This information should helpforest managers in the decision-making process and contribute to a sustainablemanagement. The evaluation of the quality of forest habitats is performed on suitableindicators such as structure and composition on broad-scale for whole landscapes and onfine-scale for individual protected sites. In this context, information layers and directhabitat mapping can help to address the complex task of monitoring forest habitats and toharmonize information output.
