Evaluation of NASA’s GEDI Lidar Observations for Estimating Biomass in Temperate and Tropical Forests by Mei Sun, Lei Cui, Jongmin Park, Mariano García, Yuyu Zhou, Carlos Alberto Silva, Long He, Hu Zhang, Kaiguang Zhao

“…Here, our goal is to evaluate the accuracies of GEDI in measuring terrain, forest vertical structures, and AGB in reference to independent airborne lidar data over temperate and tropical forests in North America. We compared GEDI-derived elevations and canopy heights (e.g., relative height percentiles such as RH50 and RH100) with those from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) or from two airborne lidar systems: the Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor (LVIS) and Goddard’s Lidar, Hyperspectral and Thermal system (G-LiHT). …”

Biomass and carbon balance in a dry tropical forest area in northeast Brazil by GABRIELA SALAMI, RINALDO L.C. FERREIRA, FERNANDO J. FREIRE, JOSÉ A.A. SILVA, MAYARA M.L. PESSOA, ANDERSON F. SILVA

“…The objective was to determine the aerial biomass carbon stock in a dry tropical forest in Brazil. It was developed between 2012 to 2015, in an area with an advanced regeneration stage (50 years) in the semi-arid region of Pernambuco and it was used 40 permanent plots (400 m²) distant 80 m apart, with 50 m from the border, totaling 1.6 ha of the area to sample the shrubby-arboreal component, where all individuals with circumference at breast height (1.30 m of the soil) equal or greater than 6 cm were identified, measured and labeled in 2012 and remeasured in 2015. …”

APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING TO ESTIMATE ABOVE GROUND BIOMASS IN TROPICAL FORESTS OF INDONESIA by Perpustakaan UGM, i-lib

Tropical forests post-logging are a persistent net carbon source to the atmosphere by Mills, MB, Malhi, Y, Ewers, RM, Kho, LK, Teh, YA, Both, S, Burslem, DFRP, Majalap, N, Nilus, R, Huaraca Huasco, W, Cruz, R, Pillco, MM, Turner, EC, Reynolds, G, Riutta, T

“…Logged and structurally degraded tropical forests are fast becoming one of the most prevalent land-use types throughout the tropics and are routinely assumed to be a net carbon sink because they experience rapid rates of tree regrowth. …”

Limited influence of experimentally induced predation risk on granivory in a tropical forest by Alys Granados, Henry Bernard, Jedediah F. Brodie

“…The extent to which predation risk indirectly alters plant survival in tropical forests via impacts on granivory is unclear, making it difficult to assess the cascading impacts of widespread predator loss on tree recruitment and species composition. …”

Variability In the Patterns of Terrestrial Mammals in Visiting the Natural Saltlicks at A Tropical Forest by Lim, Wing-Shen, Andy Russel Mojiol

“…Natural saltlicks are visited frequently by various species of terrestrial mammals, but the variability in environmental conditions can modify the mammalian visitation pattern in an inland tropical forest. Given that no similar research has been conducted at SegaliudLokan Forest Reserve in Sabah (Malaysia), scientific research was conducted from July 2019 to February 2020 (eight months), to investigate the effects of variability in the environmental conditions on mammalian visitation patterns to the local natural salt-licks, applying the field assessment and camera trapping techniques. …”

Factors affecting L-band Alos Palsar backscatter on tropical forest biomass by Omar, Hamdan, Ismail, Mohd Hasmadi, Hamzah, Khali Aziz, Kamarudin, Norizah, Mohd Shafri, Helmi Zulhaidi

“…However, estimating this parameter by using remote sensing approach has been challenging as the interpretation of remotely sensed has been challenging as the interpretation of remotely sensed complex tropical forest ecosystem. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor system has its potential in obtaining acceptable AGB estimation but several issues such as complex forest structure and saturation at certain biomass levels remain unanswered and continuously being studied. …”
