An important issue in urban thermal remote sensing is how to use pixel-based
measurements of land surface temperature (LST) to characterize and quantify the urban …

Carbon flux is the main basis for judging the carbon source/sink of forest ecosystems.
Bamboo forests have gained much attention because of their high carbon sequestration …

A lack of spatially and thematically accurate vegetation maps complicates conservation and
management planning, as well as ecological research, in tropical rain forests. Remote …

The paper investigated the application of MODIS data for mapping regional land cover at
moderate resolutions (250 and 500 m), for regional conservation purposes. Land cover …

Oil palm expansion is a major threat to forest conservation in the tropics. Oil palm can also
be a sustainable economic alternative if incentives for expansion outside forests are set in …

Vegetation is a fundamental element in urban ecosystems, and vegetation mapping is
critical for urban and landscape planning and management. While remote sensing has …

Heterogeneous Amazonian landscapes and complex forest stand structure often make
