 Mountain ecosystems represent nearly one fourth of the Earth's land surface, and provide (ecosystem) services to a significant part of the world’s human population. As was noted in the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro (Agenda 21), these ecosystems are experiencing rapid degradation due to environmental and human impact at the local scale having, however, a global spread. The complex study ‘Quantitative remote sensing of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.): Spectroscopy from needles to crowns to canopies’ contributes to the spatial monitoring of mountain forest ecosystems dominated by coniferous spruce trees through developing new quantitative approaches using optical remote sensing images, acquired by the aircraft hyperspectral sensor.
