Siberian Mapping Project

Entry ID: FED_SMP

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The purpose of the Siberian Mapping Project is to improve forest cover maps
and create above ground biomass maps of the Siberian boreal forest. The
project is aimed at improving forest disturbance detection methods, studying
the tundra-taiga ecotone, differentiating between natural and human-caused
disturbance mechanism and mapping boreal forest structure using the Earth
Observing System ...
