Monitoring global biodiversity from space through remotely sensing geospatial patterns has
high potential to add to our knowledge acquired by field observation. Although a framework …

In this review, we propose a new framework, dynamic disequilibrium of the carbon cycles, to
assess future land carbon-sink dynamics. The framework recognizes internal ecosystem …

Remote sensing provides a broad view of landscapes and can be consistent through time,
making it an important tool for monitoring and managing protected areas. An impediment to …

Satellite sensors are well suited to monitoring changes on the Earth's surface through
provision of consistent and repeatable measurements at a spatial scale appropriate for …

Disturbance of ecosystems is a major factor in regional carbon budgets, and it is believed to
be partly responsible for the large inter‐annual variability of the terrestrial part of the carbon …

This paper discusses an assessment of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) time-series data products for detecting forest defoliation from European gypsy moth …

Disturbance events strongly affect the composition, structure, and function of forest
ecosystems; however, existing US land management inventories were not designed to …

Large-scale ecosystem disturbances (LSEDs) have major impacts on the global carbon
cycle as large pulses of CO2 and other trace gases from terrestrial biomass loss are emitted …

Long‐term changes in the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) have been
evaluated in several studies but results have not been conclusive due to differences in data …

Time series of images are required to extract and separate information on vegetation
change due to phenological cycles, inter-annual climatic variability, and long-term trends …
