                         have specific roles in the biogeochemical cycles and trophic flow. 
                         These groups have been pointed out as keys to improve the 
                         knowledge on ecosystem dynamics and effects of climate and 
                         anthropogenic changes in the marine environment. Orbital remote 
                         sensing is stated as the only means capable of analysing 
                         spatio-temporal distribution of PFTs, over regional and global 
                         scales. Many research teams have focused their efforts on the 
                         development of PFT bio-optical models, presenting a great variety 
                         of approaches. Considerable advances have been achieved in a few 
                         years of research; however, challenges are still great. Further 
                         developments rely on improvements in the knowledge of PFTs' 
                         bio-optical characteristics and the possibility of integrating 
                         different bio-optical and ecological information. This article 
                         presents a new review of the state of the art of PFTs' 
                         characterization from space, with examples of the main models and
