Quantifying ecosystem carbon fluxes and stocks is essential for better understanding the
global carbon cycle and improving projections of the carbon-climate feedbacks. Remote …

Global change is impacting forests worldwide, threatening biodiversity and ecosystem
services including climate regulation. Understanding how forests respond is critical to forest …

Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and
climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system. Remote-sensing estimates to …

Abstract NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is collecting spaceborne
full waveform lidar data with a primary science goal of producing accurate estimates of forest …

The terrestrial forest carbon pool is poorly quantified, in particular in regions with low forest
inventory capacity. By combining multiple satellite observations of synthetic aperture radar …

Background With the introduction of the Trillion Trees Initiative and similar programs, forests'
ability to absorb carbon dioxide is increasingly in the spotlight. Many states have mandates …

Ecological remote sensing is being transformed by three-dimensional (3D), multispectral
measurements of forest canopies by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and computer vision …

Biomass and leaf area equations are often required to assess or model forest productivity,
carbon stocks and other ecosystem services. These factors are influenced by climate, age …

High spatial resolution three-dimensional (3D) measurements of vegetation by remote
sensing are advancing ecological research and environmental management. However …

Forest mensuration–the science of measurement applied to forest vegetation and forest
products–holds value for basic ecology as well as sustainable forest management. As …
