Increasing ecosystem vulnerability in Mediterranean countries is partially due to dramatic land use changes that frequently lead to an unstable state of ecosystems. Large areas of Mediterranean Rangelands are affect from transitional processes that cause conflicts between past and present land uses or economic and ecological priorities, and which may encompass the depletion of range resources or, in case of land abandonment, the accumulation of combustible biomass with the increasing risk of wildfires. In order to facilitate optimised management strategies, the GeoRange project pursues an integrated approach of experts in range ecology and management, ecosystem conservation and restoration, remote sensing and spatial information systems (Geomatics). With the direct involvement of responsible land managers, it aims at formalising concepts and strategies for multi-functional range assessments and the design and implementation of management plans, based on a dedicated software environment that includes range-specific remote sensing and GIS-related processing modules for end-users.
