Mediterranean lands are characterized by a high diversity of topography, lithology, soils, and microclimate, resulting in a range of various ecosystems. It is a highly sensitive natural environment with vegetation types that are almost entirely anthropogenically degraded forms, and the remaining areas of this quasinatural vegetation are highly vulnerable to further destruction. An interdisciplinary cooperation of research institutes was formed to integrate their specific expertise in remote sensing, geology, soil science, and geobotany. Their development of a specific interest in remotely sensed data from high spectral resolution imagers for the observation of Mediteranean land degradation and soil erosion is reported.
