Literature review of wetland remote sensing and mapping

The use of remotely sensing provides more costeffective knowledge acquisition and enables the provision of areawide, spatially-explicit data at regular intervals. This provides access to large and valuable data sets, provided that they are accurate accounts of the reality on the ground and that uncertainty is quantified, and that a good data infrastructure and a map solution has been developed for the end user. In this report, we present a systematic literature review, combined with data from questionnaire surveys from practitioners, on the mapping, monitoring and condition assessment of wetlands using remote sensing.
