Seasonal Patterns in Spectral Irradiance and Leaf UV-A Absorbance Under Forest Canopies

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Plants commonly respond to UV radiation through the accumulation of flavonoids and related phenolic compounds which potentially ameliorate UV-damage to crucial internal structures.

Accuracy Assessment of GEDI Terrain Elevation and Canopy Height Estimates in European Temperate Forests: Influence of Environmental and Acquisition Parameters

Remote Sensing, 2020
Lidar remote sensing has proven to be a powerful tool for estimating ground elevation, canopy height, and additional vegetation parameters, which in turn are valuable information for the investigation of ecosystems.

Community Structure in an Isolated Tropical Forest Biome: One Year of Fruit-Feeding Butterfly Trapping in Four Habitats in the Western Ghats, India

Diversity, 2022
Insect communities in tropical forests tend to be structured vertically and with respect to tree fall gaps and edges. Furthermore, insect communities vary over time.

Scale-dependent interactions between tree canopy cover and impervious surfaces reduce daytime urban heat during summer

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Cities worldwide are experiencing record-breaking summer air temperatures, with serious consequences for people. Increased tree cover is suggested as a climate adaptation strategy, but the amount of tree canopy cover needed to counteract ...

Canopy Height Estimation Using Sentinel Series Images through Machine Learning Models in a Mangrove Forest

Remote Sensing, 2020
Canopy height serves as a good indicator of forest carbon content. Remote sensing-based direct estimations of canopy height are usually based on Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) or Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometric data.

The regional market for non-timber forest products

Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente, 2018
The fate of tropical forests is shaped by their perceived value, which in turn depends on awareness of their benefits.  Regional markets for non-timber forest products (NTFPs) could both help rural people generate income from forests and raise urban ...

Canopy near-infrared reflectance and terrestrial photosynthesis

Science Advances, 2017
Quantifying the near-infrared light reflected by plant canopies improves our ability to estimate global photosynthesis. Global estimates of terrestrial gross primary production (GPP) remain highly uncertain, despite decades of satellite measurements and ...

Canopy structure explains the relationship between photosynthesis and sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence in crops

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2019
Remote sensing of far-red sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) has emerged as an important tool for studying gross primary productivity (GPP) at the global scale.
