Multiscale-multisensor approach in studying wetlands of the Paraná river Delta Region in Argentina

The Paraná River Delta Region is a huge mosaic of wetlands which covers 17,000 km 2 at the final portion of the Del Plata Basin in Argentina. This paper focuses on a brief review about how different sensors and a multi-scale approach bring insight on structural and functional features of wetlands, f...

description The Paraná River Delta Region is a huge mosaic of wetlands which covers 17,000 km 2 at the final portion of the Del Plata Basin in Argentina. This paper focuses on a brief review about how different sensors and a multi-scale approach bring insight on structural and functional features of wetlands, from regional to a specific ecosystem level in a top-down/botton-up approach. At broad scale, ENVISAT Wide Swath Mode (WSM) imagery along with optical SACC-MMRS and the last two decades of Normalized Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series of NOAA-AVHRR satellite systems were used to analyze landscape heterogeneity and wetland functioning in the whole region.
