Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution forest carbon stocks and emissions in the Amazon
Gregory P. Asner,George V. N. Powell,Joseph Mascaro,David E. Knapp,John K. Clark,James Jacobson,Ty Kennedy-Bowdoin,Aravindh Balaji,Guayana Paez-Acosta,Eloy Victoria,Laura Secada,Michael Valqui,R. Flint Hughes +12 more
TL;DR: Very high-resolution monitoring reduces uncertainty in carbon emissions for REDD programs while uncovering fundamental environmental controls on forest carbon storage and their interactions with land-use change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated mapping of tropical deforestation and forest degradation: CLASlite
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system called CLASlite, which provides desktop mapping of forest cover, deforestation and forest disturbance using advanced atmospheric correction and spectral signal processing approaches with Landsat, SPOT, and many other satellite sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution mapping of forest carbon stocks in the Colombian Amazon
Gregory P. Asner,John K. Clark,Joseph Mascaro,G. A. Galindo García,K. D. Chadwick,D. A. Navarrete Encinales,Guayana Paez-Acosta,E. Cabrera Montenegro,Ty Kennedy-Bowdoin,Alvaro Duque,Aravindh Balaji,P. von Hildebrand,L. Maatoug,J. F. Phillips Bernal,A. P. Yepes Quintero,David E. Knapp,M. C. García Dávila,James Jacobson,M. F. Ordóñez +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a top-down approach for high-resolution carbon mapping in a 16.5 million ha region (> 40%) of the Colombian Amazon and found that carbon stocks are predicted by a combination of satellite-derived elevation, fractional canopy cover and terrain ruggedness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human and environmental controls over aboveground carbon storage in Madagascar
Gregory P. Asner,John K. Clark,Joseph Mascaro,Romuald Vaudry,K. Dana Chadwick,Ghislain Vieilledent,Maminiaina Rasamoelina,Aravindh Balaji,Ty Kennedy-Bowdoin,Léna Maatoug,Matthew S. Colgan,David E. Knapp +11 more
TL;DR: High-resolution mapping of carbon stocks is possible in remote regions, with or without human activity, and thus carbon monitoring can be brought to highly endangered Malagasy forests as a climate-change mitigation and biological conservation strategy.
