Abstract
By scientifically grounded nature management, the biodiversity of medicinal plants can be preserved, providing a foundation for the research and development of new therapeutics. Monitoring the condition and distribution of plant communities is one of the contemporary responsibilities of botanical resource research. Cistus salviifolius used to mangment various ailments in both modern and traditional medicine. Sentinel-2 based on remote sensing techniques, offer promising alternatives to accurately detect, map and monitor the extent of plants. The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of Sentinel-2 data to detect and map of Cistus salviifolius as a case study in Armutlu. The finidings reveal the significance of the red-edge and shortwave infrared regions of the spectrum, as well as the inclusion of vegetation indices in the classification for C. salviifolius discrimination. Here, we demonstrate the potential of Sentinel-2 data for mapping of medicinal plants.

Abstract

Cistus salviifolius L. (Cistaceae) oluşumunun haritalandırılması için uzaktan algılamanın kullanılması, Armutlu, Yalova, Türkiye

Özet
Bilimsel temelli doğa yönetimiyle tıbbi bitkilerin biyolojik çeşitliliği korunabilir ve yeni tedavi yöntemlerinin araştırılması ve geliştirilmesi için bir temel oluşturulabilir. Bitki topluluklarının durumunu ve dağılımını izlemek, botanik kaynak araştırmasının çağdaş sorumluluklarından biridir. Cistus salviifolius hem modern hem de geleneksel tıpta çeşitli rahatsızlıkların tedavisinde kullanılır. Uzaktan algılama tekniklerine dayanan Sentinel-2, bitkilerin dağılımını doğru bir şekilde tespit etmek, haritalamak ve izlemek için umut verici alternatifler sunuyor. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Armutlu'da bir vaka çalışması olarak Cistus salviifolius'un tespit edilmesi ve haritalandırılmasında Sentinel-2 verilerinin kullanılabilirliğini araştırmaktır. Bulgular, spektrumun kırmızı-kenar ve kısa dalga kızılötesi bölgelerinin öneminin yanı sıra bitki indekslerinin C. salviifolius ayrımcılığı sınıflandırmasına dahil edildiğini ortaya koyuyor. Burada Sentinel-2 verilerinin tıbbi bitkilerin haritalandırılmasındaki potansiyelini gösterilmiştir.
