  • Enhanced observation of forest albedo reveals significant offsets to reported carbon benefits

    Open AccessSEAN P HEALEY, Zhiqiang Yang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Rapidly maturing frameworks for investing in and committing to mitigation of climate change through forest management have focused almost exclusively on the benefits of carbon sequestration, without accounting for collateral changes in geophysical factors such as surface albedo. Newly available 30 m albedo retrievals derived from imagery acquired by the Landsat 8 satellite, analyzed at 273 652 field plots monitored by the United States Forest Ser…

  • Toward spatio-temporal models to support national-scale forest carbon monitoring and reporting

    Open AccessElliot S Shannon, Andrew O Finley et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    National forest inventory (NFI) programs provide vital information on forest parameters’ status, trend, and change. Most NFI designs and estimation methods are tailored to estimate status over large areas but are not well suited to estimate trend and change, especially over small spatial areas and/or over short time periods (e.g. annual estimates). Fine-scale space-time indexed estimates are critical to a variety of environmental, ecological, and…

  • Making the US national forest inventory spatially contiguous and temporally consistent

    Open AccessYifan Yu, Sassan Saatchi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) are required to annually report economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions and removals, including the forest sector. National forest inventory (NFI) is considered the main source of data for reporting forest carbon stocks and changes to UNFCCC. However, NFI samples are often collected asynchronously across regions in intervals of 5–10 years or sub-sampled annually, both…

  • Expanding wildland-urban interface alters forest structure and landscape context in the northern United States

    Open AccessNancy F Sonti, Rachel Riemann et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The wildland-urban interface (WUI), where housing intermingles with wildland vegetation, is the fastest-growing land use type in the United States. Given the ecological and social benefits of forest ecosystems, there is a growing need to more fully understand how such development alters the landscape context and structure of these WUI forests. In a space-for-time analysis we utilized land cover data, forest inventory plots, and housing density da…

  • Decadal dead wood biomass dynamics of coterminous US forests

    Open AccessChristopher W Woodall, Shawn Fraver et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Due to global change, temperate forests are expected to face growing threats to forest health (e.g. insects/disease) and increasing probabilities of severe disturbances (e.g. wildfires), which may result in amplified tree mortality against a backdrop of a changing climate and associated ecosystem/atmospheric feedbacks (i.e. increased rates of dead wood decay/combustion). Despite these expectations, we lack a fundamental understanding of current f…

  • A carbon monitoring system for mapping regional, annual aboveground biomass across the northwestern USA

    Open AccessAndrew T Hudak, Patrick A Fekety et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    This paper presents a prototype Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) developed to produce regionally unbiased annual estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB). Our CMS employed a bottom-up, two-step modeling strategy beginning with a spatially and temporally biased sample: project datasets collected and contributed by US Forest Service (USFS) and other forestry stakeholders in 29 different project areas in the northwestern USA. Plot-level AGB estimates co…

  • Using matrix models to estimate aboveground forest biomass dynamics in the eastern USA through various combinations of LiDAR, Landsat, and forest inventory data

    Open AccessWu Ma, Grant M Domke et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    The ability to harmonize data sources with varying temporal, spatial, and ecosystem measurements (e.g. forest structure to soil organic carbon) for creation of terrestrial carbon baselines is paramount to refining the monitoring of terrestrial carbon stocks and stock changes. In this study, we developed and examined the short- (5 years) and long-term (30 years) performance of matrix models for incorporating light detection and ranging (LiDAR) str…

  • Evaluating the influence of spatial resolution of Landsat predictors on the accuracy of biomass models for large-area estimation across the eastern USA

    Open AccessRam K Deo, Grant M Domke et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Aboveground biomass (AGB) estimates for regional-scale forest planning have become cost-effective with the free access to satellite data from sensors such as Landsat and MODIS. However, the accuracy of AGB predictions based on passive optical data depends on spatial resolution and spatial extent of target area as fine resolution (small pixels) data are associated with smaller coverage and longer repeat cycles compared to coarse resolution data. T…

  • Estimating aboveground live understory vegetation carbon in the United States

    Open AccessKristofer Johnson, Grant M Domke et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Despite the key role that understory vegetation plays in ecosystems and the terrestrial carbon cycle, it is often overlooked and has few quantitative measurements, especially at national scales. To understand the contribution of understory carbon to the United States (US) carbon budget, we developed an approach that relies on field measurements of understory vegetation cover and height on US Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Forest Invent…
