Journal ArticleDOI
GEDI launches a new era of biomass inference from space
Ralph Dubayah,John Armston,Sean P. Healey,Jamis M. Bruening,Paul L. Patterson,James R. Kellner,Laura Duncanson,Svetlana Saarela,Göran Ståhl,Zhiqiang Wang,Hao Tang,J. Bryan Blair,Lola Fatoyinbo,Scott J. Goetz,Steven Hancock,Matthew C. Hansen,Michelle Hofton,George C. Hurtt,Scott B. Luthcke +18 more
TL;DR: The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) was designed to retrieve vegetation structure within a novel, theoretical sampling design that explicitly quantifies biomass and its uncertainty across a variety of spatial scales as mentioned in this paper .
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of science in Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD)
Richard A. Houghton,Nora Greenglass,Alessandro Baccini,A Cattaneo,Scott J. Goetz,Josef Kellndorfer,Nadine Laporte,Wayne S. Walker +7 more
TL;DR: This article provided a brief summary of the scientific research that led to REDD, and that continues to help refine and resolve issues of effectiveness, efficiency and equitability for a REDD mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Satellite observations document trends consistent with a boreal forest biome shift
Logan T. Berner,Scott J. Goetz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors quantified interannual trends in annual maximum vegetation greenness using an ensemble of vegetation indices derived from Landsat observations at 100,000 sample sites in areas without signs of recent disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crisis in Earth observation.
TL;DR: Satellite sensors have been imaging Earth's land surface, oceans, and ice fields since the early 1970s, and the data sets derived from these observations have chronicled transformations on the planet's surface, ranging from urban sprawl to tropical deforestation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporating canopy structure from simulated GEDI lidar into bird species distribution models
P. J. Burns,Matthew L. Clark,Leonardo A. Salas,Steven Hancock,David Leland,Patrick Jantz,Ralph Dubayah,Scott J. Goetz +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of GEDI-derived Canopy Structure variables have on the performance of bird species distribution models (SDMs) in Sonoma County, California.
