Vertical structure and aboveground biomass of tropical forests from lidar remote sensing

Creator:

Gonçalves, Fabio Guimarães

Abstract:

Methods for obtaining accurate, spatially explicit estimates of biomass density in tropical forests are required to reduce uncertainties in the global carbon cycle, and to support international climate agreements and emerging carbon markets. Three-dimensional (3-D) remote sensing techniques sensitive to the vertical structure of vegetation provide a unique opportunity for...

Climate, management, and forest type influences on carbon dynamics of West-Coast US forests

Creator:

Hudiburg, Tara M.

Abstract:

Net uptake of carbon from the atmosphere (net ecosystem production, NEP) is dependent on climate, disturbance history, management practices, forest age, and forest type. To improve understanding of the influence of these factors on forest carbon flux in the western U.S., a combination of federal inventory data and supplemental ground...

Carbon storage and fluxes in forests of western Oregon : successional patterns and environmental controls

Creator:

Van Tuyl, Steven

Abstract:

In this study we use a combination of data from forest inventories, intensive chronosequences, extensive sites, and remote sensing, to make estimates of biomass and net primary production (NPP) for the forested region of Western Oregon. Plot-level forest inventory data were provided by the USDA Forest Service through their Forest...
