Thus, the heterogeneous landscapes within PAs, containing a number of different habitats and ecosystem types, are in various degrees of disturbance. Characterizing habitats and ecosystems within the global protected area network requires large-scale monitoring over long time scales. This study reviews methods for the biophysical characterization of terrestrial PAs at a global scale by means of remote sensing (RS) and provides further recommendations. To this end, we first discuss the importance of taking into account the structural and functional attributes, as well as integrating a broad spectrum of variables, to account for the different ecosystem and habitat types within PAs, considering examples at local and regional scales. We then discuss potential variables, challenges and limitations of existing global environmental stratifications, as well as the biophysical characterization of PAs, and finally offer some recommendations. Computational and interoperability issues are also discussed, as well as the potential of cloud-based platforms linked to earth observations to support large-scale characterization of PAs. Using RS to characterize PAs globally is a crucial approach to help ensure sustainable development, but it requires further work before such studies are able to inform large-scale conservation actions. This study proposes 14 recommendations in order to improve existing initiatives to biophysically characterize PAs at a global scale.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi10060384","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,4]],"date-time":"2021-06-04T11:12:13Z","timestamp":1622805133000},"page":"384","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Remote Sensing Methods for the Biophysical Characterization of Protected Areas Globally: Challenges and Opportunities"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0825-7252","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Mart\u00ednez-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Soil Erosion and Conservation Research Group, Spanish Research Council (CEBAS-CSIC), E-30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7025-4733","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bastian","family":"Bertzky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Research Centre (JRC), European Commission, I-21027 Ispra, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9534-9114","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simon","family":"Willcock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Natural Science, Bangor University, Bangor LL57 2DG, UK"},{"name":"Rothamsted Research, Harpenden AL5 2JQ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5873-2915","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marine","family":"Robuchon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Research Centre (JRC), European Commission, I-21027 Ispra, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Almagro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Soil Erosion and Conservation Research Group, Spanish Research Council (CEBAS-CSIC), E-30100 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6794-7328","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giacomo","family":"Delli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arcadia Sistemi Informativi Territoriali Sr., I-27029 Vigevano, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gr\u00e9goire","family":"Dubois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Research Centre (JRC), European Commission, I-21027 Ispra, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"217","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-020-2773-z","article-title":"Area-based conservation in the twenty-first century","volume":"586","author":"Maxwell","year":"2020","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Mappin, B., Chauvenet, A.L.M., Adams, V.M., Di Marco, M., Beyer, H.L., Venter, O., Halpern, B.S., Possingham, H.P., and Watson, J.E.M.
