Abstract
Editorial: Advances in 3D Habitat Mapping of Marine Ecosystem Ecology and Conservation
Highlights
Advances in 3D technology have enabled low-cost and accurate measurements of habitat structure and organism size in both terrestrial and marine environments
Multiple teams from around the world are leading the application of 3D photogrammetry in marine ecosystems
The Research Topic focuses on the use of high-resolution 3D reconstructions of underwater ecosystems
Summary
Advances in 3D technology have enabled low-cost and accurate measurements of habitat structure and organism size in both terrestrial and marine environments. Standardized techniques where possible, will ensure collaboration and compatibility of 3D data across space and time This Research Topic is a first step toward the standardization of methods and communication of the state of the field to the wider audience in marine science and conservation using or considering the use of 3D technologies. The Topic provides relevant information that: (1) defines standard methods for the application of 3D technologies to marine ecosystem ecology and conservation, (2) advances fundamental marine ecological and conservation knowledge relevant to the habitat structure of marine ecosystems; and (3) highlights knowledge gaps and directions to move toward a high-resolution 3D map of the world’s oceans. The Research Topic focuses on the use of high-resolution 3D reconstructions of underwater ecosystems. It includes 13 articles, of which six are original research articles, one is a perspective, and six are methodological advances. The breath of the research published in this Research Topic captured 3D reconstructions of submillimeter resolutions, as well as 3D maps across large spatial extents
