Leaf area index (LAI) is a critical vegetation structural variable and is essential in the
feedback of vegetation to the climate system. The advancement of the global Earth …

Remote sensing-based methods of aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation in forest
ecosystems have gained increased attention, and substantial research has been conducted …

Obtaining accurate and widespread measurements of the vertical structure of the Earth's
forests has been a long-sought goal for the ecological community. Such observations are …

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 …

We have produced the first 30 m resolution global land-cover maps using Landsat Thematic
Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) data. We have classified over …
