We examine whether aerial hyperspectral (414\u20132501 nm) remote sensing can be used to discriminate between grazed vegetation belonging to different grassland successional stages. Vascular plant species were recorded in 104.1 m2 plots on the island of \u00d6land (Sweden) and the functional properties of the plant species recorded in the plots were characterized in terms of the ground-cover of grasses, specific leaf area and Ellenberg indicator values. Plots were assigned to three different grassland age-classes,  representing 5\u201315, 16\u201350 and &gt;50 years of grazing management. Partial least squares discriminant analysis models were used to compare classifications based on aerial hyperspectral data with the age-class classification. The remote sensing data successfully classified the plots into age-classes: the overall classification accuracy was higher for  a model based on a pre-selected set of wavebands (85%, Kappa statistic value = 0.77) than one using the full set of wavebands (77%, Kappa statistic value = 0.65). Our results show that nutrient availability and grass cover differences between grassland age-classes are detectable by spectral imaging. These techniques may potentially be used for mapping the spatial distribution of grassland habitats at different successional stages.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs6087732","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,20]],"date-time":"2014-08-20T10:27:29Z","timestamp":1408530449000},"page":"7732-7761","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Classification of Grassland Successional Stages Using Airborne Hyperspectral Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Thomas","family":"M\u00f6ckel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, Lund University, S\u00f6lvegatan 12,  SE-223 62 Lund, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Biology, Lund University, S\u00f6lvegatan 37, SE-223 62 Lund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonas","family":"Dalmayne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, Lund University, S\u00f6lvegatan 12,  SE-223 62 Lund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2548-0525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Honor","family":"Prentice","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Lund University, S\u00f6lvegatan 37, SE-223 62 Lund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7644-6517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lars","family":"Eklundh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, Lund University, S\u00f6lvegatan 12,  SE-223 62 Lund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oliver","family":"Purschke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig, Deutscher Platz 5e, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Biology\/Geobotany and Botanical Garden, Martin Luther University of Halle Wittenberg, Am Kirchtor 1, 06108 Halle (Saale), Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Schmidtlein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Institute of Geography and Geoecology,  76131 Karlsruhe, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karin","family":"Hall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, Lund University, S\u00f6lvegatan 12,  SE-223 62 Lund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"182","DOI":"10.1016\/S0169-5347(03)00011-9","article-title":"Farmland biodiversity: Is habitat heterogeneity the key?","volume":"18","author":"Benton","year":"2003","journal-title":"Trends Ecol.
