Remote sensing of forest biomass dynamics using Landsat-derived disturbance and recovery history and lidar data

Creator:

Pflugmacher, Dirk

Abstract:

Improved monitoring of forest biomass is needed to quantify natural and anthropogenic effects on the terrestrial carbon cycle. Landsat's temporal and spatial coverage, fine spatial grain, and long history of earth observations provide a unique opportunity for measuring biophysical properties of vegetation across large areas and long time scales. However,...
