Abstract
A brief introduction on remote sensing is given with some technical and historical aspects. Thereafter the development and present stage of three remote sensing techniques, that are considered relevant in relation to ecosystem quality, are discussed. They are: forest monitoring using LANDSAT, evapotranspiration monitoring with METEOSAT and laser induced chlorophyll fluorescence. The role of physical models in this kind of research is emphasized.
