Forest degradation affects forest structure, composition and diversity, carbon stocks,
functionality and ecosystem processes. It is known to contribute significantly to global carbon …

Plant trait data have been used in various studies related to ecosystem functioning,
community ecology, and assessment of ecosystem services. Evidences are that plant …

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 …

Live woody vegetation is the largest reservoir of biomass carbon, with its restoration
considered one of the most effective natural climate solutions. However, terrestrial carbon …

The terrestrial forest carbon pool is poorly quantified, in particular in regions with low forest
inventory capacity. By combining multiple satellite observations of synthetic aperture radar …

Peatlands are carbon-rich ecosystems that cover just three per cent of Earth's land surface,
but store one-third of soil carbon. Peat soils are formed by the build-up of partially …

Accurate map** of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is critical for better understanding
the role of forests in the global carbon cycle. NASA's current GEDI and ICESat-2 missions as …

Estimates of the magnitude and distribution of aboveground carbon in Earth's forests remain
uncertain, yet knowledge of forest carbon content at a global scale is critical for forest …

The primary objective of the European Space Agency's 7th Earth Explorer mission,
BIOMASS, is to determine the worldwide distribution of forest above-ground biomass (AGB) …

The terrestrial carbon sink has been large in recent decades, but its size and location remain
uncertain. Using forest inventory data and long-term ecosystem carbon studies, we estimate …
