Carbon Fluxes and Biophysical Variables from Earth Observation

Carbon Fluxes and Biophysical Variables from Earth Observation: Methods for Ecosystem Assessment transforms the way remote sensing data can be used to approach monitoring of carbon fluxes (CF) and biophysical variables (BV) in ecosystem and global vegetation monitoring. In a field where these two subjects have traditionally been treated as distinct entities, this book offers an integrated exploration of CF and BV retrieval through remote sensing. It not only delves into a wide array of approaches and methodologies but also assists readers in selecting the most suitable models based on available inputs and spatiotemporal scales. Carbon Fluxes and Biophysical Variables from Earth Observation is a useful resource for Earth Observation specialists, particularly in Remote Sensing, machine learning, ecology, and plant physiology, to enhance and adapt their approaches and methodologies.

• Provides multidisciplinary approaches to the use of remote sensing for monitoring carbon fluxes and biophysical variables
• Enables deeper understanding and monitoring of ecosystems and dynamics from Earth observation technologies
• Includes in-situ, local scale, and global methods to provide readers with techniques and applications for a wide spectrum of needs
