Mapping Forest Height in Alaska Using GLAS, Landsat Composites, and Airborne LiDAR
Vegetation structure, including forest canopy height, is an important input variable to fire behavior modeling systems for simulating wildfire behavior. As such, forest canopy height is one of a nationwide suite of products generated by the LANDFIRE program. In the past, LANDFIRE has relied on a combination of field observations and Landsat imagery to develop existing vegetation structure produ...
متن کاملLarge area mapping of southwestern forest crown cover, canopy height, and biomass using the NASA Multiangle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer
A rapid canopy reflectance model inversion experiment was performed using multi-angle reflectance data from the NASA Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR) on the Earth Observing SystemTerra satellite, with the goal of obtainingmeasures of forest fractional crown cover, mean canopy height, and aboveground woody biomass for large parts of south-eastern Arizona and southern New Mexico (N20...
متن کاملPredicting Forest Stand Height and Canopy Cover from LANDSAT and LIDAR data using decision trees
With 57,4 % of the national territory covered by forests[7], Slovenia is one of the most forested countries of the European Union. Forests represent the most important CO2 sink for Slovenia in the framework of the Kyoto protocol to the United Nations convention on climate change, predominantly due to accumulation of forest biomass. Only one quarter of the annually accumulated aboveground biomas...
متن کاملEstimation of Forest Canopy Height and Aboveground Biomass from Spaceborne LiDAR and Landsat Imageries in Maryland
Mapping the regional distribution of forest canopy height and aboveground biomass is worthwhile and necessary for estimating the carbon stocks on Earth and assessing the terrestrial carbon flux. In this study, we produced maps of forest canopy height and the aboveground biomass at a 30 m spatial resolution in Maryland by combining Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) data and Landsat spectr...
متن کاملMapping Tropical Forest Biomass by Combining ALOS-2, Landsat 8, and Field Plots Data
This research was carried out in a dense tropical forest region with the objective of improving the biomass estimates by a combination of ALOS-2 SAR, Landsat 8 optical, and field plots data. Using forest inventory based biomass data, the performance of different parameters from the two sensors was evaluated. The regression analysis with the biomass data showed that the backscatter from forest o...
