An Overview of Remote Sensing Data Applications in Peatland Research Based on Works from the Period 2010–2021
In the 21st century, remote sensing (RS) has become increasingly employed in many environmental studies. This paper constitutes an overview of works utilising RS methods in studies on peatlands and investigates publications from the period 2010–2021. Based on fifty-nine case studies from different c...
