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

Humans rely on healthy forests to supply energy, building materials, and food and to provide
services such as storing carbon, hosting biodiversity, and regulating climate. Defining forest …

Terrestrial ecosystem and carbon cycle feedbacks will significantly impact future climate, but
their responses are highly uncertain. Models and tipping point analyses suggest the tropics …

Wood-boring pests (WBPs) pose an enormous threat to global forest ecosystems because
their early stage infestations show no visible symptoms and can result in rapid and …

Remote sensing, the science of obtaining information via noncontact recording, has swept
the fields of ecology, biodiversity and conservation (EBC). Several quality review papers …

Terrestrial disturbances are accelerating globally, but their full impact is not quantified
because we lack an adequate monitoring system. Remote sensing offers a means to …

Most global temperature analyses are based on station air temperatures. This study
presents a global analysis of the relationship between remotely sensed annual maximum …

Research on change detection techniques has long been an active topic and many
techniques have been developed. In reality, change detection is a comprehensive …

Information regarding the extent, timing and magnitude of forest disturbance are key inputs
required for accurate estimation of the terrestrial carbon balance. Equally important for …

FLUXNET global network of eddy-covariance flux towers provides full daily and seasonal
cycles of net ecosystem carbon flux in multiple biome types and climates worldwide. Testing …
