Estimates of woody biomass (tree and shrubs) at 1-km resolution in megagrams per hectare (Mg ha-1). Biomass was estimated from canopy cover, canopy height, and tree allometry.  Source: C.W. Ross

Global maps of above and belowground biomass carbon density: (a) aboveground biomass carbon density, (b) belowground biomass carbon density.

This overview map shows thirty unique vegetation canopy structure classes identified within the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Tennessee and North Carolina, USA.

A portion of the quicklook image from flight line ang20150611t202652 over Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, Idaho on June 6, 2015. Center-pivot irrigation of agricultural land (1/2 mile in diameter) is visible in this image. Flight altitude was approximately 3000 m with clear weather.

Spring and Autumn phenology was calculated for 75 Landsat sidelap regions. From Melaas et al., 2018.

PhenoCam images from February and July 2013 at the Arbutus Lake site in New York.

Photos of recovering burned (left) and unburned (right) sampling sites show vegetation changes due to burning and recovery of aboveground biomass after burning. Photos courtesy of I. Numata.

Location of the Tapajos National Forest, PA, Brazil, outlined in yellow. The gray lines are GLAS sampling flight tracks from 2003 to 2009 and the blue circles are the forest plots sampled. The pictures on the right illustrate three of the stands where plots were located (Goncalves et al., 2017).

Typical plot photo for ground cover estimates and location of LAI measurements. A rangepole with GPS and a camera boom was positioned at 2-meter intervals along plot transects. This photo is from the Hollister, Sagebrush01 plot, and the Sagebrush01_5_4 sampling point.
