Mountain environments feature steep terrain, variable climates, and diverse ecosystems, making traditional data collection ...

Credit: Remote Sensing of Environment (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2025.114735 Approximately 30% of global carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions are removed by terrestrial vegetation through photosynthesis.

The goal was to understand how forests affect the climate – and how climate change affects forests,” one of the mission proposers, Lars Ulander, Professor of Radar Remote Sensing at Chalmers ...

Forests serve as vital carbon reservoirs, reducing atmospheric CO2 and mitigating climate change. Monitoring carbon stocks typically combines ground-based data with satellite remote sensing, yet ...

Science Returning Grazing Land to Native Forests Would Yield Big Climate Benefits Removing cattle from carbon-rich soils in the eastern U.S. and western Europe while intensifying production ...

“This is an ambitious and important global team science effort,” said Jon Kaye, program director at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. “The on-the-ground and remote sensing approaches that will be ...

A new remote sensing study has established the distribution of forests and savannas across India and the role of drivers such as climate, soil and herbivory in determining tree-grass dynamics in ...

While the study also incorporates remote sensing data, a common tool in national forest inventories and land surveys, our unique strength lies in the detailed on-the-ground data collection." ...

Proximal remote sensing provides a bridge between ecosystem flux data at Earth’s surface and optical data from satellite sensors, improving our grasp of feedbacks between terrestrial ecosystems ...

While existing remote sensing solutions for Forest Carbon often fail to visualize individual trees and subtle forest change at scale, Planet’s dataset excels at precisely capturing them.
