First Experience with Sentinel-2 Data for Crop and Tree Species Classifications in Central Europe
TL;DR: The study presents the preliminary results of two classification exercises assessing the capabilities of pre-operational Sentinel-2 (S2) data for mapping crop types and tree species and confirmed its expected capabilities to produce reliable land cover maps.

Tree Species Classification with Random Forest Using Very High Spatial Resolution 8-Band WorldView-2 Satellite Data
TL;DR: The suitability of 8-band WorldView-2 satellite data for the identification of 10 tree species in a temperate forest in Austria is examined and an extensive literature review on tree species classification comprising about 20 studies is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Structure, Distribution, and Biomass of the World's Forests
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the environmental factors controlling the structure and distribution of forests and evaluate their current and future trajectory, concluding that forest biomass is a complex property affected by forest distribution, structure, and ecological processes.

TL;DR: It is recommended that future research efforts focus stronger on the causal understanding of why tree species classification approaches work under certain conditions or – maybe even more important - why they do not work in other cases as this might require more complex field acquisitions than those typically used in the reviewed studies.

La Selva: ecology and natural history of a neotropical rain forest.
TL;DR: La Selva, a nature reserve and field station in Costa Rica, is one of the most intensively studied and best-understood tropical field sites in the world as mentioned in this paper, and has been a major focus of research on rainforest ecology, flora and fauna.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reflectance and Transmittance of Light by Leaves
TL;DR: Spectrophotometric transmittance and reflectance curves were recorded for wavelengths from 0.45 to 2.7 micrometers for faces and backs of leaves and for stacked leaves of several plant species to demonstrate the physical bases for the leaf curves.

Predictive relations of tropical forest biomass from Landsat TM data and their transferability between regions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the transferability of predictive relations for the estimation of tropical forest biomass from Landsat TM data between sites in Brazil, Malaysia and Thailand using three types of predictive relation, based on vegetation indices, multiple regression and feed forward neural networks, were developed for biomass estimation at each site.

Tropical rain forest tree growth and atmospheric carbon dynamics linked to interannual temperature variation during 1984-2000
TL;DR: During 1984–2000, canopy tree growth in old-growth tropical rain forest at La Selva, Costa Rica, varied >2-fold among years, which is consistent with decreased net primary production in tropical forests in the warmer years of the last two decades.
