Delineation and functional status monitoring in small saline wetlands of NE Spain
- The open access file of the author version haven't the figures (only their description). - The final version of the editor (with complet figures) is available at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/03014797 ; The small playa-lakes and other saline wetlands of Monegros, scattered over a dry area with winter cereal monoculture, are threatened by the settlement of new irrigation districts and other kinds of human pressure. Enforcing the protection rules of European Union in these valuable habitats requires, first, their delimitation and monitoring. This article shows how these tasks can be undertaken using remote sensing in conjunction with field observations. A series of Landsat images covering different seasons provided a comprehensive view of these wetlands encompassing their changing facies, hydrologic regime, state of conservation, and functional status. Remotely-sensed data were the primary, and in most cases the only available, source of consistent information. Our approach can help planning and surveying for the implementation of saline wetland protection measures in harmony with the conterminous agricultural areas. ; This work has been funded by the Government of Aragon within the project “Tecnologías de la información espacial en la gestión territorial”. The Spanish Ministry of Education and Science and FEDER contributed with the project AGL2006-01283 and with the grant EX2006-0347 to the second author. ; Peer reviewed
