The full realization of the potential of remote sensing as a source of environmental information
requires an ability to generalize in space and time. Here, the ability to generalize in space …

NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is collecting spaceborne full
waveform lidar data with a primary science goal of producing accurate estimates of forest …

This article investigates the effects of both soil contamination and nitrogen application on
the red edge–chlorophyll concentration relationship for a vegetation canopy. Field based …

Aim Conservation activities have increasingly focused on issues at the level of the landscape
but are constrained by limited data and knowledge relating to biodiversity at this scale. …

During the 2005–2007 June–September ablation seasons, meteorological conditions were
recorded on the lower and upper parts of the debris‐covered ablation zone of Miage Glacier, …

More than half of all tropical forests are degraded by human impacts, leaving them threatened
with conversion to agricultural plantations and risking substantial biodiversity and carbon …

The understanding and management of biodiversity is often limited by a lack of data.
Remote sensing has considerable potential as a source of data on biodiversity at spatial and …

Water temperature is critical for the ecology of lakes. However, the ability to predict its spatial
and seasonal variation is constrained by the lack of a thermal classification system. Here …

Current policy is driving renewed impetus to restore forests to return ecological function,
protect species, sequester carbon and secure livelihoods. Here we assess the contribution of …

Here we report the recent discovery of the world’s tallest tropical tree (Shorea faguetiana),
possibly the world’s tallest angiosperm (flowering plant), located in the rainforests of Sabah, …
