Monitoring global biodiversity from space through remotely sensing geospatial patterns has
high potential to add to our knowledge acquired by field observation. Although a framework …

Species distributions and abundances are undergoing rapid changes worldwide. This
highlights the significance of reliable, integrated information for guiding and assessing …

Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and
climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system. Remote-sensing estimates to …

Global maps of forest loss depict the scale and magnitude of forest disturbance, yet
companies, governments, and nongovernmental organizations need to distinguish …

Methane is an important greenhouse gas, but the role of trees in the methane budget
remains uncertain. Although it has been shown that wetland and some upland trees can …

Zoonoses originating from wildlife represent a significant threat to global health, security and
economic growth, and combatting their emergence is a public health priority. However, our …

A poor understanding of the fraction of global plant biomass occurring belowground as roots
limits our understanding of present and future ecosystem function and carbon pools. Here …

Topographic variation underpins a myriad of patterns and processes in hydrology,
climatology, geography and ecology and is key to understanding the variation of life on the …

The Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM) is a set of algorithms dedicated to
the estimation of terrestrial evaporation and root-zone soil moisture from satellite data. Ever …

Land use and related pressures have reduced local terrestrial biodiversity, but it is unclear
how the magnitude of change relates to the recently proposed planetary boundary (“safe …
