FAQs

Have questions? We’ve got answers. Below are some of the most common inquiries we receive about Gentian’s products and services.

What is habitat mapping?

Habitat mapping is the process of classifying different natural environments within a given area, forming the basis for biodiversity analysis and land management.

How accurate is Gentian’s habitat mapping?

We use sub-50cm satellite imagery and AI trained on examples to achieve high classification accuracy. Our premium maps (Gentian True Sage) are reviewed by our expert in-house team.

Can Gentian’s maps help with land acquisition or site scoping?

Absolutely. Our habitat maps are frequently used at the early stages of site selection to assess biodiversity value, identify constraints, and de-risk investment decisions.

Can Gentian assess sites internationally?

Yes—our satellite-based methods are globally scalable, and we’ve delivered surveys across Europe, Asia, and North America.

How accurate are Gentian's ecological surveys?

Our AI models are trained on high-resolution imagery (<50 cm) and extensive ground-truth data to ensure precision. Our data undergoes rigorous quality assurance, including expert ecological review, to deliver scientifically robust and actionable insights.

How are Gentian’s surveys different from traditional ecological surveys?

Our surveys are conducted remotely using satellite imagery and AI, making them faster, more cost-effective, and available year-round.

Why do you focus on surveying vegetation?

Vegetation is a powerful proxy for biodiversity. Habitat types and plant communities are closely linked to the species they support, offering an efficient way to assess ecological value at scale. Remote sensing can detect vegetation patterns and changes reliably, but species-level surveys require fieldwork, which we complement—not replace.
