Forests contribute to climate change mitigation through carbon storage and uptake, but the
extent to which this carbon pool varies in space and time is still poorly known. Several Earth …

The achievement of international goals and national commitments related to forest
conservation and management, climate change, and sustainable development requires …

Estimates of the magnitude and distribution of aboveground carbon in Earth's forests remain
uncertain, yet knowledge of forest carbon content at a global scale is critical for forest …

In response to the urgent need for improved mapping of global biomass and the lack of any
current space systems capable of addressing this need, the BIOMASS mission was …

Forest biomass is an essential indicator for monitoring the Earth's ecosystems and climate. It
is a critical input to greenhouse gas accounting, estimation of carbon losses and forest …

Quantifying forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is essential for elucidating the global carbon
cycle and the response of forest ecosystems to climate change. Over the past five decades …

Abstract Purpose of Review This review presents cutting-edge methods and current and
forthcoming satellite remote sensing technologies to map aboveground biomass (AGB) …

Several remote sensing missions will soon produce detailed carbon maps over all terrestrial
ecosystems. These missions are dependent on accurate and representative in situ datasets …
