This paper explores the potential of Pléiades satellite images for multi-temporal analysis of frequently inundated fluvial margins in order to evaluate their habitat diversity. The value of the Pléiades images lies in their spatial and temporal resolution. The availability of several images acquired over a short period of time provided the opportunity to characterize the fluctuation of the aquatic zone in relation solely to discharge fluctuations within fluvial reaches whose geometry has not been reworked. Variable inundation frequencies guarantee in fact higher habitat diversity within fluvial corridors. Three contrasting case studies have been considered, each one of them presenting operational issues in terms of habitat characterization: gravel bars, dry channels, riparian wetlands. The results underline that the temporal repeatability of the Pléiades images presents a relatively good basis to comprehend these questions. It was possible to obtain three to five images over one year, fortunately acquired at contrasting discharge conditions, which allowed characterizing the frequency of inundation of the gravel bars and the channel network. In the case of the riparian wetlands, it was possible to identify the most contrasted cases. However, as the set of images represented only two differing discharge conditions, it was difficult to produce results of high precision. Despite the benefits of the Pléiades images, the number of available images remains limited, which thus still impedes the establishment of such characterizations. A step back of several years is required to assess how many contrasting hydrological conditions can reasonably be acquired for the different sites. Ten to fifteen acquisitions per year would most likely respond to these issues.
