Regional dynamics of forest canopy change and underlying causal processes in the contiguous U.S.

Creator:

Schleeweis, Karen, Goward, Samuel N., Huang, Chengquan, Masek, Jeffrey G., Moisen, Gretchen, Kennedy, Robert E., and Thomas, Nancy E.

Abstract:

The history of forest change processes is written into forest age and distribution and affects earth systems at many scales. No one data set has been able to capture the full forest disturbance and land use record through time, so in this study, we combined multiple lines of evidence to...

United States Forest Disturbance Trends Observed Using Landsat Time Series

Creator:

Masek, Jeffrey G., Goward, Samuel N., Kennedy, Robert E., Cohen, Warren B., Moisen, Gretchen G., Schleeweis, Karen, and Huang, Chengquan

Abstract:

Disturbance events strongly affect the composition, structure, and function of forest ecosystems; however, existing US land management inventories were not designed to monitor disturbance. To begin addressing this gap, the North American Forest Dynamics (NAFD) project has examined a geographic sample of 50 Landsat satellite image time series to assess...
