dc.description.abstractUrban ecosystem assessment and monitoring is a complex and dynamic blend of socioeconomic and physical components. The significant changes in land surfaces and pollutant concentrations in the atmosphere due to anthropogenic influences may pose risks and susceptibility to ecological hazards in urban areas as they concentrate more on population, assets, infrastructure, etc. Satellite-based remote sensing observation provides an understanding of urban evolution and its capacity to preserve natural resources and plays an important role in evaluating the ecosystem service value, seasonal dynamics, and vegetation structure. Evaluation of green infrastructures as an important instrument for reducing carbon footprint, effects of land transformation and fragmentation, and boosting the opportunities for the better integration of land use and ecosystem services in different geographical regions. The utilization of a remote sensing-based ecological index approach exhibiting the Pressure-State-Response framework to assess eco-environmental conditions in urban areas. The advances in satellite-based earth observation with the inclusion of emerging tools and algorithms in different spatiotemporal scales have made it possible to strategize multiple ecological workflow models to study urban ecological conditions. Therefore it has provided improved scientific opportunities for sustainable monitoring, management, and planning of biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem restoration, especially in urban ecosystems. The present chapter emphasizes the complexities and ecological imbalances with increasing urbanization at local, regional, and global levels. � 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
