Remote sensing for monitoring regional carbon dynamics associated with land cover and land use change along the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor

Creator:

Hayes, Daniel J., 1974-

Abstract:

Human activities are causing profound changes to the global environment, yet the potential consequences of these changes on rising atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate change are not well understood. Improving our understanding of these processes requires an enhanced awareness of how global ecosystems are changing and how these changes affect...

Carbon dynamics following landscape fire: influence of burn severity, climate, and stand history in the Metolius Watershed, Oregon

Creator:

Meigs, Garrett W.

Abstract:

Fire is a fundamental disturbance that drives terrestrial and atmospheric carbon dynamics. Previous studies have quantified fire effects on carbon cycling from local to global scales but have focused nearly exclusively on high-severity, stand-replacement fire. Since 2002, variable-severity wildfires have burned more than 65 000 ha across the east slope...
