Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was introduced for basic forest measurements, such as tree
height and diameter, in the early 2000s. Recent advances in sensor and algorithm …

Tropical forests make an approximately neutral contribution to the global carbon cycle, with
intact and recovering forests taking in as much carbon as is released through deforestation …

Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and
climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system. Remote-sensing estimates to …

Abstract NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is collecting spaceborne
full waveform lidar data with a primary science goal of producing accurate estimates of forest …

The productivity of rainforests growing on highly weathered tropical soils is expected to be
limited by phosphorus availability. Yet, controlled fertilization experiments have been unable …

Urgent solutions to global climate change are needed. Ambitious tree‐planting initiatives,
many already underway, aim to sequester enormous quantities of carbon to partly …

To constrain global warming, we must strongly curtail greenhouse gas emissions and
capture excess atmospheric carbon dioxide,. Regrowing natural forests is a prominent …

Abstract In the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, large knowledge gaps
persist on how to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in cash crop-dominated …

Trees sustain livelihoods and mitigate climate change but a predominance of trees outside
forests and limited resources make it difficult for many tropical countries to conduct …

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) …
