Integrating eDNA and Remote Sensing-Based Biodiversity Monitoring

A few studies have attempted to combine eDNA-based with remote sensing-based biodiversity monitoring. However, the combination of both can provide us with much more resolution and information to better understand current and future biodiversity changes. In my study, I aim at
bridging the gap between these state-of-the-art biodiversity monitoring technologies and help to develop streamlined approaches to assess an environment’s biodiversity efficiently and quickly. The data can then be used for evidence-based policy decisions, conservation management, education, and outreach. Understanding biodiversity loss is crucial in preserving forest and peatland habitats and threatened species, and to support sustainable forest and peatland management.
