TL;DR: It is shown how ecosystem service assessments can be expanded to include mental health, and a heuristic, conceptual model for doing so is provided.

TL;DR: New remote-sensing and modeling techniques are used to assess changes in the canopy water content of California’s forests from 2011 to 2015 and identify at-risk forest landscapes and watersheds at fine resolution, and offer geographically explicit information to support innovative forest management and policies in preparation for climate change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the data dimensionality of two contrasting scenes (a built environment at Stanford University and a lowland tropical forest in Amazonia) and demonstrate that precision data fusion greatly increases the dimensionality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Carnegie Airborne Observatory visible-to-shortwave infrared (VSWIR) imaging spectroscopy with light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to assess the foliar traits of Amazonian and Andean tropical forest canopies.

TL;DR: Large-scale mapping of tropical forest trait diversity offers an approach for conservation, and functional biogeography may bridge a gap between field-based biodiversity information and satellite-based Earth system studies, thereby supporting conservation plans to protect more species and their contributions to ecosystem functioning.
