Aboveground biomass and its spatial distribution pattern of herbaceous marsh vegetation in China

Science China Earth Sciences, 2021
Herbaceous marsh is the most widely distributed type of marsh wetland ecosystem, and has important ecological functions such as water conservation, climate regulation, carbon storage and fixation, and sheltering rare species. The carbon sequestration function of herbaceous marsh plays a key role in slowing climate warming and maintaining regional ...

Drivers of aboveground biomass of high mountain vegetation in the Andes

Acta Oecologica, 2020
The biomass of plant communities in the high mountains of the Andes (páramo) is a key factor controlling the carbon retention and freshwater supply, which are important environmental services for the human population. Using d-sep tests, we examined four causal path models that show how the aboveground biomass of a series of small plots in undisturbed ...

Determination of green aboveground biomass in desert steppe using litter-soil-adjusted vegetation index

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Remote Sensing, 2014
Accurate estimation of green aboveground biomass in arid and semiarid grassland is essential for a variety of studies, such as sustainable grassland management, fire risk assessment, climate change, and environmental degradation.

A study on estimation of aboveground wet biomass based on the microwave vegetation indices

2009 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2009
Vegetation biomass is an important parameter in the carbon cycle study. In this paper, a new technique to estimate aboveground vegetation wet biomass based on the Microwave Vegetation Indices (MVIs), which are computed through the observed brightness temperature of AMSR-E/Aqua under two adjacent frequencies, has been developed.

Statewide mapping and estimation of vegetation aboveground biomass using airborne lidar

2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016
Airborne lidar has emerged as the most powerful remote sensing technology for mapping vegetation structure, but its application has been limited to landscape level due to the sheer data volume and daunting demand for computation. This study is to break this stereotype and conduct a statewide mapping study of aboveground biomass (AGB) by integrating ...

Biomass of Grazed, Burned, and Undisturbed Páramo Grasslands, Colombia. I. Aboveground Vegetation

Arctic and Alpine Research, 1995
Estimations of the amount of aboveground vegetation mass were made for four piramo grassland sites with different grazing management and burning histories in the Central Cordillera of Colombia. The total mass of live plus dead grassland vegetation showed a decrease from 2820 ? 190 g m-2 at the undisturbed to 868 + 73 g m-2 at the intensively grazed and

Shortwave infrared vegetation index-based modelling for aboveground vegetation biomass assessment in the arid steppes of Algeria

African Journal of Range & Forage Science, 2021
Selecting the appropriate vegetation index for accurate biomass estimation is a prerequisite before and during the ecosystem management project. This study, aims to compare Vegetation Indices (VIs) that are combining both Visible and Near Infrared OLI bands (VNIR-VIs), Visible and Short Wave Infrared OLI bands and also NIR and Short Wave Infrared OLI ...

Effects of Interannual Climate Variation on Aboveground Phytomass in Alpine Vegetation

Ecology, 1994
Relationships between peak annual vascular aboveground phytomass and annual climate variation in alpine plant communities located on Niwot Ridge, Colorado, were analyzed using path analysis. The five community types, fellfield, dry meadow, moist meadow, wet meadow, and snowbed, represent a snow depth—soil moisture gradient and broadly represent the ...
