Mapping stand age dynamics of the Siberian larch forests from recent Landsat observations
The Siberian larch forests are a major and unique component of the circumpolar boreal
biome. However, because of their large extent, remote location, and lack of consistent
satellite data coverage prior to 2000, comparatively little is known about their disturbance
and recovery patterns at the regional scale beyond the past 15 years. Spatial distribution of
recovering forests in the boreal zone is highly important for quantifying the feedback of forest
cover to the climate system through carbon cycling and surface albedo which are strongly …
