Light detection and ranging (lidar) data acquired from airborne or spaceborne platforms
have revolutionized measurement and mapping of forest attributes. Airborne data are often …

The frequency and severity of forest fires, coupled with changes in spatial and temporal
precipitation and temperature patterns, are likely to severely affect the characteristics of …

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 …

Precise information on tree species composition is critical for forest management and
conservation, but mapping tree species with satellite data over large areas is still a …

Improved monitoring of forest biomass and biomass change is needed to quantify natural
and anthropogenic effects on the terrestrial carbon cycle. Landsat's temporal and spatial …

Globally, forests are a crucial natural resource, and their sound management is critical for
human and ecosystem health and well-being. Efforts to manage forests depend upon …

The vast extent and inaccessibility of boreal forest ecosystems are barriers to routine
monitoring of forest structure and composition. In this research, we bridge the scale gap …

This paper presents and assesses spatially explicit estimates of forest growing stock volume
(GSV) of the northern hemisphere (north of 10° N) from hyper-temporal observations of …

Forest inventory and monitoring programs are needed to provide timely, spatially complete
(ie mapped), and verifiable information to support forest management, policy formulation …

The objectives of this study were to estimate above ground forest biomass and identify areas
disturbed by selective logging in a 1000ha Brazilian tropical forest in the Antimary State …
