A study of the relationship between radar backscatter and regenerating tropical forest biomass for spaceborne SAR instruments.

TL;DR: In this article, a map of correction factors generated from GLAS (Geoscience Laser Altimeter System) spaceborne LiDAR data was used to improve Vieilledent's AGB map.

TL;DR: Laser-induced chlorophyll fluorescence emission spectra of leaves of some tropical plants were measured using a compact fiber-optic fluorosensor with a continuous-wave blue diode laser as exciting source and an integrated digital spectrometer.

TL;DR: This paper analyzes the uncertainty in biomass estimates derived from single-season L-band cross-polarized radar backscatter over temperate forests of the Northeastern United States, relying on ground-truth data collected during field campaigns over the Harvard and Howland Forests in 2009.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted through stratified random sampling by identifying each sampling point through Global Positioning System (GPS) to estimate the organic carbon storage in trees and organic carbon flow with geoposition of trees in the forest area of Chittagong (South) Forest Division within geo-position 91°47′ and 92°15′ East longitude and 21°45′ and 22°30′ North latitude.

TL;DR: In this paper, a strategie d'estimation de la biomasse totale au-dessus du sol a ete elaboree pour les forets tropicales is presented.

TL;DR: The literature on tropical secondary forests, defined as those resulting from human disturbance (e.g., logged forests and forest fallows), is reviewed to address questions related to their extent, rates of formation, ecological characteristics, values and uses to humans, and potential for management as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The purpose of this book is to reveal to the interested (but perhaps mathematically unsophisticated) user the foundations and major features of several basic methods for curve and surface fitting that are currently in use.

TL;DR: These Amazon ecosystems generally can recover after large-scale pasture disturbances and only where land has been used too intensively for long periods is reforestation uncertain, but probably less than 10% of the pasture land in northern Para has degraded to this level.
