Relationship between Aboveground Biomass and Percent Cover of Ground Vegetation in Canadian Boreal Plain Riparian Forests

Relationship between Biomass and Percentage Cover in Understorey Vegetation of Boreal Coniferous Forests

In the present study, the aboveground biomass of the understorey vegetation of boreal coniferous forests was modelled according to the percentage cover. A total of 224 observations from 22 stands in upland forests and 195 observations from 14 different studies in peatland forests were utilized for the present analyses. The relationships between biomass and percentage cover can be used in ecosys...

Relationship Between Geomorphic Variations and Riparian Forests

Relationship between Lidar Metrics and Aboveground Biomass in Closed-canopy Neotropical Forests

Previous studies have shown that canopy metrics from lidar data are highly correlated with aboveground biomass in a variety of closedcanopy forests, however the generality of these site-specific relationships has remained untested. In this study, we compare relationships between lidar canopy metrics and forest structural summaries from a tropical wet forest site in Costa Rica and across a serie...

Radar estimates of aboveground biomass in boreal forests of interior Alaska

This communication describes a procedure to estimate thevertical profilesof stratospheric aerosols based on the visible data tobe obtained byADEOSIILAS. Our algorithms mainly consist of twoparts: the first process is baseline estimation for the observed trans-mittance spectrum, followed by the inversion process that derives ver-tical profilesof atmospheric extinc...

Intraseasonal Interactions between Temperature and Vegetation over the Boreal Forests

This paper uses statistical and analytical techniques to investigate intraseasonal interactions between temperature and vegetation [surrogated by the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)] over the boreal forests. Results indicate that interactions between the two fields may be approximated as a coupled second-order system, in which the variability of NDVI and temperature of the current...
