ABSTRACT Aquatic macrophytes are essential bioindicators of freshwater ecosystem health, reflecting trophic conditions, nutrient levels, and pollution status. Monitoring macrophytes can reveal ecosystem changes caused by anthropogenic pressures, such as eutrophication and biodiversity loss. While traditional field monitoring is resource-intensive, remote sensing offers a cost-effective alternative for large-scale vegetation assessment.
