CARTOVEGE 2 Input Data

Description

The CARTOVEGE² project utilizes a diverse range of satellite, drone, climatic, and ecological datasets to enhance habitat mapping and biodiversity monitoring.

Satellite Data (High-Resolution Remote Sensing)

Optical Imaging (Multispectral)

• Pléiades, Pléiades NEO, Spot 6/7 (Mono/Tri-Stereo) – High spatial resolution for detailed habitat classification.
• Sentinel-2 (MSI) – Medium-resolution vegetation monitoring.

Radar Imaging

• Sentinel-1 – Terrain analysis, detecting habitat structure changes.
• SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) – Elevation and topographic data.

Drone Data (Local Vegetation Mapping & Validation)

• DJI AIR 2S – RGB aerial imagery for habitat classification refinement.

Climatic & Environmental Data

• Microclimatic Time Series
  • SoilTemp – In-situ soil temperature data.
  • High-resolution climate models (French Polar Institute 136-SUBANTECO, WorldClim, MerraClim, CHELSA, TerraClimate, Météo-France).

Ecological & Floristic Data

• TAF National Nature Reserve & French Polar Institute Database
  • Georeferenced floristic surveys (species distributions, environmental conditions).
• Habitat guides for Crozet and Kerguelen (2023) & bibliographic summaries for Amsterdam Island.
• Amsterdam field campaigns (floristic data for refining habitat classification).
