Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Design and Requirements Creep In A Build-To-Print Mission [PDF]

open access: yes
Build-to-Print designs, or rebuilds of flight proven designs, are attractive to mission stakeholders, as they give the appearance of minimal engineering development cost, risk, and schedule. The reality is that seldom is a project an exact duplicate of a

Performance Assessment of Landsat-9 Atmospheric Correction Methods in Global Aquatic Systems

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The latest satellite in the Landsat series, Landsat-9, was successfully launched on 27 September 2021, equipped with the Operational Land Imager-2 (OLI-2) sensor, continuing the legacy of OLI/Landsat-8. To evaluate the uncertainties in water surface reflectance derived from OLI-2, this study conducts a comprehensive performance assessment of six ...

A review of participatory mapping in conservation science and practice

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
There has been a recent increase and diversification in the use of participatory mapping in the field of conservation, however, methodological standards remain both disjointed and confounding. We conducted a comprehensive review of the conservation participatory mapping literature and synthesized geographical, temporal, and topical trends across a ...

Landsat-8/9 Atmospheric Correction Reliability Using Scene Statistics

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Landsat data correction using the Land Surface Reflectance Code (LaSRC) has been proposed as the basis for the atmospheric correction of smallsats. While atmospheric correction can enhance smallsat data, the Landsat/LaSRC pathway delays output and may ...

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Radiometric Source Uniformity Characterization with Angular Scans: Landsat-9 OLI-2 Experience

open access: yes, 2019
Recent imaging pushbroom radiometers with up to 30000 detectors per band in multiple modules and with dynamic ranges of up to 14 bits are a significant challenge to flat field. While there are various methods both pre-launch and on-orbit by which uniformity correction can be estimated, pre-launch calibration collects offer some of the lowest ...

Legacy effects of livestock grazing on vegetation of an arid landscape exist more than 30 years after livestock were excluded

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Globally, livestock grazing is a key driver of vegetation degradation in arid rangelands. This degradation tends to be most severe near artificial water points which are focal points for livestock activity. Conservation reserves have been established on former rangelands; however, the timeframes for vegetation recovery following ...

Leverage Your Science Data Return by Flying with the International Earth Science Constellation (ESC) [PDF]

open access: yes
Constellations have proven to be an effective and efficient way to acquire earth science data. By flying together, sensors on all satellites in a constellation take measurements of the same air, water, or land mass at essentially the same time.
