Monitoring Canopy Height in the Hainan Tropical Rainforest Using Machine Learning and Multi-Modal Data Fusion

Remote Sensing
Biomass carbon sequestration and sink capacities of tropical rainforests are vital for addressing climate change. However, canopy height must be accurately estimated to determine carbon sink potential and implement effective forest management.

Aboveground carbon loss in natural and managed tropical forests from 2000 to 2012

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
Tropical forests provide global climate regulation ecosystem services and their clearing is a significant source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and resultant radiative forcing of climate change.

Hurricane Maria in the U.S. Caribbean: Disturbance Forces, Variation of Effects, and Implications for Future Storms

Remote Sensing, 2018
The impact of Hurricane Maria on the U.S. Caribbean was used to study the causes of remotely-sensed spatial variation in the effects of (1) vegetation index loss and (2) landslide occurrence.

The role of tropical forests in supporting biodiversity and hydrological integrity: a synoptic overview [PDF]

Conservation of high-biodiversity tropical forests is sometimes justified on the basis of assumed hydrological benefits - in particular, the reduction of flooding hazards for downstream floodplain populations.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Pan‐tropical prediction of forest structure from the largest trees

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018
Aim: Large tropical trees form the interface between ground and airborne observations, offering a unique opportunity to capture forest properties remotely and to investigate their variations on broad scales.
