Ferry, Slik, J. W.; Eduardo, Van Den Berg,; Ochoa-Gaona, Susana; Onrizal, Onrizal; Navendu, Page,; Parolin, Pia; Marc, Parren,
Local spatial structure of forest biomass and its consequences for remote sensi...
Réjou-Méchain, Maxime; Muller-Landau, Helene C.; Detto, Matteo; Thomas, Sean C.; Le-Toan, Thuy; Saatchi, Sassan S.; Barreto-Silva, Juan SebastianAdvances in forest carbon mapping have the potential to greatly reduce uncertainties in the global carbon budget and to facilitate effective emissions mitigation strategies such as REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation). Though broad-scale mapping is based primarily on remote sensing data, the accuracy of resulting forest carbon stock estimates depends critically on the quality of ...
Phylogenetic classification of the world's tropical forests
Slik, J. W.Ferry; Franklin, Janet; Arroyo-Rodríguez, Víctor; Field, Richard; Aguilar, Salomón; Aguirre, Nikolay; Ahumada, Jorge A.; Aiba, ShinichiroKnowledge about the biogeographic affinities of the world's tropical forests helps to better understand regional differences in forest structure, diversity, composition, and dynamics. Such understanding will enable anticipation of region-specific responses to global environmental change. Modern phylogenies, in combination with broad coverage of species inventory data, now allow for global biogeographic analyses...
