Ecological niche mod-els (ENMs) are one of the most widely used toolsets to appraise global changeimpacts on biodiversity. Here, we identify a variety of advantages of incorporat-ing remotely sensed ecosystem functioning attributes (EFAs) into ENMs. Thedevelopment of ENMs that explicitly incorporate ecosystem functioning willallow a more holistic and integrative perspective of the habitat dynamics. Thesynergies between the increasingly available open-access satellite images andcloud-based platforms for planetary-scale geospatial analysis offer an unprece-dented opportunity to incorporate ecosystem processes and disturbances (suchas fires, insect outbreaks or droughts) that have been so far largely neglected inecological niche characterization and modelling. The most paradigmatic exam-ple of EFAs is the application of time series of spectral vegetation indicesrelated to primary productivity and carbon cycle. EFAs related to surface energybalance and water cycles derived from remote sensing products such as landsurface temperature or soil moisture enable a fine-scale characterization of thespecies’ niche—eventually improving the predictive performance of ENMs. Allthese advantages confirm that a new generation of ENMs based on such EFAswould offer great perspectives to increase our ability to monitor habitat suit-ability trends and population dynamics. However, despite the technicaladvances and increasing effort of remote sensing community to develop inte-grative EFAs, ENMs have yet to make full profit of the most recent develop-ments by integrating them in ENMs. A coordinated agenda for remote sensingexperts and ecological modellers will be essential over the coming years tobridge the gap between remote sensing and ecology disciplines and to take full(and timely) advantage of the fast-growing body of Earth observation data andremote sensing technologies—with special emphasis on the development andtesting of new variables related to key processes driving ecosystem functioning.
