  • Gedi launches a new era of biomass inference from space

    Open AccessRalph Dubayah, John Armston et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Accurate estimation of aboveground forest biomass stocks is required to assess the impacts of land use changes such as deforestation and subsequent regrowth on concentrations of atmospheric CO 2 . The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is a lidar mission launched by NASA to the International Space Station in 2018. GEDI was specifically designed to retrieve vegetation structure within a novel, theoretical sampling design that explicitl…

  • Challenges to aboveground biomass prediction from waveform lidar

    Open AccessJamis M Bruening, Rico Fischer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Accurate accounting of aboveground biomass density (AGBD) is crucial for carbon cycle, biodiversity, and climate change science. The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), which maps global AGBD from waveform lidar, is the first of a new generation of Earth observation missions designed to improve carbon accounting. This paper explores the possibility that lidar waveforms may not be unique to AGBD—that forest stands with different AGBD m…

  • Fine-scale modeling of bristlecone pine treeline position in the Great Basin, USA

    Open AccessJamis M Bruening, Tyler Tran et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) and foxtail pine (Pinus balfouriana) are valuable paleoclimate resources due to their longevity and climatic sensitivity of their annually-resolved rings. Treeline research has shown that growing season temperatures limit tree growth at and just below the upper treeline. In the Great Basin, the presence of precisely dated remnant wood above modern treeline shows that the treeline ecotone shifts at cen…

  • Cluster analysis and topoclimate modeling to examine bristlecone pine tree-ring growth signals in the Great Basin, USA

    Open AccessTyler Tran, Tyler J Tran et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Tree rings have long been used to make inferences about the environmental factors that influence tree growth. Great Basin bristlecone pine is a long-lived species and valuable dendroclimatic resource, but often with mixed growth signals; in many cases, not all trees at one location are limited by the same environmental variable. Past work has identified an elevational threshold below the upper treeline above which trees are limited by temperature…
