Remotely sensed data have become the primary source for biomass estimation. A summary
of previous research on remote sensing‐based biomass estimation approaches and a …

Sixteen landscape metrics were evaluated with respect to the effects of spatial aggregation
on six different years of Landsat data for a deforested area in Rondonia, Brazil. Spatial …

There has been growing concern about land use/land cover change in tropical regions, as
there is evidence of its influence on the observed increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide …

In quantifying the carbon budget of the Amazon region, temporal estimates of the extent and
age of regenerating tropical forests are fundamental. However, retrieving such information …

In Queensland, Australia, forest areas are discriminated from non-forest by applying a
threshold (∼ 12%) to Landsat-derived Foliage Projected Cover (FPC) layers (equating to∼ …

For estimating forest biomass and mapping of forest carbon content, an accurate
classification of tropical forest stages is an important step. The successional stage of …

Most studies of land-cover change in the Amazon have ignored the role of urban centers in
driving land-cover conversion and in generating significant environmental change. This …

Remotely sensed images from satellites and aircrafts, as well as regional networks and
monitoring stations such as eddy flux towers, are collecting large volumes of multivariate …
