Applied Analysis Solutions is working with SIUE’s Laboratory for Applied Spatial Analysis and Bayer CropScience to demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of utilizing information from freely available satellite image archives for habitat characterization of historic landscape patterns and changes over a 25-year period.
Ecological effects modeling for population or community level environmental risk assessment seeks to describe the interactions of biological, chemical, environmental and anthropogenic factors in relation to stressor-response relationships. Changes in landscape over time can play a large role in habitat suitability and species occurrence, important aspects in population-level modeling. We applied novel remote sensing image processing methods used to capture landscape-level changes in grassland extent and management over a 25-year period near Krefeld, Germany.
