The ability to use digital remotely sensed data for forest inventory is often limited by the
nature of the measures, which, with the exception of multi-angular or stereo observations …

The choice of biomass estimation models (BEMs) is one of the most important sources of
uncertainty in quantifying forest biomass and carbon fluxes. This review was motivated by …

Biomass and leaf area equations are often required to assess or model forest productivity,
carbon stocks and other ecosystem services. These factors are influenced by climate, age …

Traditionally, forest measurement textbooks have been concerned primarily with
determination of the amounts of the principal commercial product of forests, wood. This was …

We assessed whether diversity in plant hydraulic traits can explain the observed diversity in
plant responses to water stress in seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF s). The Ecosystem …

Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is fast turning the corner from demonstration
technology to a key tool for assessing carbon stocks in tropical forests. With its ability to …

Forests contribute a significant portion of the land carbon sink, but their ability to sequester
CO2 may be constrained by nitrogen,,,,,, a major plant-limiting nutrient. Many tropical forests …

Although increasing efforts are being made to restore tropical forests, little information is
available regarding the time scales required for carbon and plant biodiversity to recover to …

Over half of the world's forests are disturbed, and the rate at which ecosystem processes
recover after disturbance is important for the services these forests can provide. We analyze …

Many cities are develo** policies to promote greenery as a measure to reduce their net
greenhouse gas emissions. Studies suggest that urban forests may represent an important …
