Spatially explicit information on tree species composition of managed and natural forests,
plantations and urban vegetation provides valuable information for nature conservationists …

How plants interact with sunlight is central to the existence of life and provides a window to
the functioning of ecosystems. Although the basic properties of leaf spectra have been …

Abstract In June 2018, the ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on
Space Station (ECOSTRESS) mission was launched to measure plant temperatures and …

Biodiversity is essential to healthy ecosystem function, influencing productivity and
resilience to disturbance. Biodiversity loss endangers essential ecosystem services and …

Forest vegetation classification and structure measurements are fundamental steps for
planning, monitoring, and evaluating large-scale forest changes including restoration …

Leaves interact with light in ways that create a spectral footprint of the terrestrial environment
of our planet. Most of the visible light penetrating the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by …

In this study we fused high-spatial resolution (3.7 m) hyperspectral imagery with 22 pulse/m
2 lidar data at the individual crown object scale to map 29 common tree species in Santa …

Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1
to 10 nanometer or nm bandwidths) over a range of electromagnetic spectrum (eg, 400 …

The composite nature of remotely sensed spectral information often masks diagnostic
spectral features and hampers the detailed identification and map** of targeted …

Remote sensing techniques are increasingly used for studying ecosystem dynamics,
delivering spatially explicit information on the properties of Earth over large spatial and multi …
