Using bi-temporal ALS and NFI-based time-series data to account for large-scale...

New remote-sensed biomass change products will transform our capacity to monitor and validate large-scale carbon dynamic in the next decade. In this study, we evaluated the use of multitemporal Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) and the Climate Change Initiative (CCI) BIOMASS spaceborne mission to estimate AGB dynamics in different Mediterranean forest over an 8-year period (2010–2018). To do so, we evaluated differ...

Aboveground biomass mapping by integrating ICESat-2, SENTINEL-1, SENTINEL-2, AL...

The Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) provides an extraordinary opportunity to support global large-scale forest carbon mapping, but further research is needed in order to obtain wall-to-wall forest aboveground biomass (AGB) maps with this technology. The effects of vegeta tion structure on the performance of canopy height and AGB modeling using ICESat-2 photon- counting light detection and ...

Addressing Carbon Storage in Forested Landscape Management Planning—An Optimiza...

Climate change is driving worldwide efforts to mitigate and reverse the increasing anthro- pogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Forests can uptake considerable amounts of carbon from the atmosphere, but management decisions and resultant silvicultural practices can largely influence these ecosystems’ carbon balance. This research presents an approach to help land managers cope with the need to ensure the prov...

Assessing the Accuracy of GEDI Data for Canopy Height andAboveground Biomass Es...

Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) satellite mission is expanding the spatialbounds and temporal resolution of large-scale mapping applications. Integrating the recent GEDIdata into Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS)-derived estimations represents a global opportunity toupdate and extend forest models based on area based approaches (ABA) considering temporal andspatial dynamics. This study evaluates the ...

Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) satellite mission is expanding the spatial bounds and temporal resolution of large-scale mapping applications. Integrating the recent GEDI data into Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS)-derived estimations represents a global opportunity to update and extend forest models based on area based approaches (ABA) considering temporal and spatial dynamics. This study evaluates ...

Combining tree species composition and understory coverage indicators with opti...

Sustainable forest management needs to address biodiversity conservation concerns. For that purpose, forest managers need models and indicators that may help evaluate the impact of management options on biodiversity under the uncertainty of climate change scenarios. In this research we explore the potential for designing mosaics of stand-level forest management models to address biodiversity conservation object...

Forest biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and wood production: modeling synerg...

Europe’s forests provide vital habitat for biodiversity and essential ecosystem services whose provision must be sustained or enhanced over the coming century. However, the potential to secure or increase forest ecosystem services, while securing the habitat requirements of taxa remains unclear, especially within the context of uncertain climate and socio-economic developments. To tease out the associated trade...

Web-Based Forest Resources Management Decision Support System

In this paper, we present a web-based decision support system (DSS)—wSADfLOR—to facilitate the access of stakeholders to tools that may contribute to enhancing forest management planning. The emphasis is on a web-based architecture and a web graphic user interface (wGUI) that may effectively support the analysis of trade-offs between ecosystem services in order to address participatory and sustainable forest ma...
