Remote sensing has developed into an omnipresent technology in the scientific field of
forestry and is also increasingly used in an operational fashion. However, the pace and level …

Quantifying forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is essential for elucidating the global carbon
cycle and the response of forest ecosystems to climate change. Over the past five decades …

The worldwide variation in vegetation height is fundamental to the global carbon cycle and
central to the functioning of ecosystems and their biodiversity. Geospatially explicit and …

Forest canopy structural complexity (CSC) plays a crucial role in sha** forest ecosystem
productivity and stability, but the precise nature of their relationships remains controversial …

Forests play a critical role in stabilizing Earth's climate. Establishing protected areas (PAs)
represents one approach to forest conservation, but PAs were rarely created to mitigate …

Calibration and validation of aboveground biomass (AGB)(AGB) products retrieved from
satellite-borne sensors require accurate AGB estimates across hectare scales (1 to 100 ha) …
