Forest biomass quantification is essential to the global carbon cycle and climate studies.
Many studies have estimated forest biomass from a variety of data sources, and …

Limiting climate warming to< 2° C requires increased mitigation efforts, including land
stewardship, whose potential in the United States is poorly understood. We quantified the …

High temperatures and severe drought contributed to extensive tree mortality from fires and
bark beetles during the 2000s in parts of the western continental United States. Several …

Accurate estimation of forest aboveground biomass at high-resolution continues to remain a
challenge and long-term goal for carbon monitoring and accounting systems. Here, we …

Several political initiatives aim to achieve net-zero emissions by the middle of the twenty-first
century. In this context, forests are crucial as a carbon sink to store unavoidable emissions …

Accurate estimating of above-ground biomass (AGB) of vegetation in urbanized areas is
essential for urban ecosystem services. NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation …

There are several new and imminent space-based sensors intended to support mapping of
forest structure and biomass. These instruments, along with advancing cloud-based …

Water availability constrains the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems and is
projected to change in many parts of the world over the coming century. We quantified the …

Mapping the spatial variation of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) at the national or
regional scale is important for estimating carbon emissions and removals and contributing to …

Abstract Model Intercomparison Projects (MIPs) are fundamental to our understanding of
how the land surface responds to changes in climate. However, MIPs are challenging to …
