Journal ArticleDOI
High-Resolution Global Maps of 21st-Century Forest Cover Change
Matthew C. Hansen,Peter Potapov,Rebecca Moore,M. Hancher,Svetlana Turubanova,Alexandra Tyukavina,David Thau,Stephen V. Stehman,Scott J. Goetz,Thomas R. Loveland,Anil Kommareddy,A. Egorov,Louise Chini,Christopher O. Justice,John R. Townshend +14 more
TL;DR: Intensive forestry practiced within subtropical forests resulted in the highest rates of forest change globally, and boreal forest loss due largely to fire and forestry was second to that in the tropics in absolute and proportional terms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimated carbon dioxide emissions from tropical deforestation improved by carbon-density maps

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided the most detailed estimate of the carbon density of vegetation and associated carbon dioxide emissions from deforestation for ecosystems across the tropics across the world, including tropical rainforests.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article used repeat photography, long-term ecological monitoring and dendrochronology to document shrub expansion in arctic, high-latitude and alpine tundra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiometric rectification - Toward a common radiometric response among multidate, multisensor images
TL;DR: In this article, a method is developed for relating scene digital counts among several images of the same scene by identifying radiometric control sets with mean reflectances that are basically constant, which can be used to compute linear transforms that relate digital count values between images.
Journal ArticleDOI
Satellite-observed photosynthetic trends across boreal North America associated with climate and fire disturbance
TL;DR: Stochastic changes across the time series were predominantly associated with a frequent and increasing fire disturbance regime and have implications for the direction of feedbacks to the climate system and emphasize the importance of longer term synoptic observations of arctic and boreal biomes.
