Remote Sensing in Terrestrial Ecosystems: Cross-Scale Approaches to Understanding Structure, Function, and Process II
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 31927
Session Description:
Advances in remote sensing technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to understand ecosystem structure and function at spatial and temporal scales never before possible. New sensors, increased data availability, and emerging technologies facilitate novel, cross-disciplinary approaches to advance our understanding of terrestrial systems. Near Earth and Satellite derived data products have allowed researchers to link trends in vegetative traits, such as foliar chemistry and net primary productivity, to key ecosystem processes such as decomposition, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity. Combined approaches, integrating remote sensing data products with in situ and experimental measurements, can help improve the monitoring and management of ecosystem changes over time and increase the accuracy of ecosystem models. How do we use remote sensing data to scale up ground measurements? What are key opportunities to inform understanding of ecosystem dynamics and biogeochemical cycles? We invite submissions from researchers using remote sensing technologies to study ecosystem structure, function, and processes.
