AbstractSeagrasses are marine flowering plants that form extensive meadows from the inter-tidal zone up to ~50 m depth. As biological and ecological Essential Biodiversity Variables, seagrass cover and composition provide a wide range of ecosystem services. Inter-tidal seagrass meadows provide services to many ecosystems, so monitoring their occurrence, extent, condition and diversity can be used to indicate the biodiversity and health of local ecosystems.

AbstractThe study of the functioning and responses of Antarctica to the current climate change scenario is a priority and a challenge for the scientific community aiming to predict and mitigate impacts at a regional and global scale. Due to the difficulty of obtaining aerial data in such extreme, remote, and difficult-to-reach region of the planet, the development of remote sensing techniques with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has revolutionized polar research.
