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,...

: Remote Sensing of Forest Biomass Dynamics Using Landsat-derived Disturbance and Recovery History and
Forest Successional and Disturbance Dynamics in the Southern Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon

Creator:

Johnston, James D.

Abstract:

The application of modern land management practices beginning at the turn of the 20th century is widely believed to have dramatically transformed forest landscapes of the inland Pacific Northwest. Restoring historical conditions to make forests resilient to future climate and disturbance regimes is a major goal of federal forest managers....
