摘要:Biodiversity, the variety of life on Earth, maintains ecosystem services. Since the biodiversity is strongly related to human well- being, the monitoring of biodiversity is significant for global environmental issues. Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) is composed of nine Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs), and biodiversity is one of the SBAs, with Group on Earth Observations (GEO) Biodiversity Observation Network (BON) as its primary task. Corresponding to GEO BON, Japanese Biodiversity Observation Network (JBON), the regional network in Japan, was organized and held the first meeting in May 2009 in Tokyo, Japan. Following JBON, Asia-Pacific Biodiversity Observation Network (AP BON), the regional BON over Asia-Pacific region, held the first meeting in July 2009 in Nagoya, Japan. Those BONs have basically eight working groups (WG) and WG 7 of them is mandated for in-situ and remote-sensing integration. Remote sensing, by linking with in-situ observation, will provide us plenty of biodiversity-related information as ecosystem types and their distribution patterns, which could be the information about habitat structure for organisms. Integrated in-situ observations from view points of ecology, ecosystem science, and hydrometeorology are required for remote sensing studies of the biodiversity. Furthermore, those in-situ observations should be networked systematically for the interdisciplinary exchange of data, observational philosophy, and technique
