Analysing biodiverse habitats and connectivity across ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ AONB

High resolution satellite data has been used to monitor diversity and public access in the ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Overview

Funded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) as part of its Test & Trial project ‘Making space for Nature’, this study uses satellite images to monitor biodiversity, enhance solar organic carbon sequestration and assess public access in the ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ Hills AONB, which is local to the ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½.
