Carbon Fluxes and Biophysical Variables from Earth Observation: Methods for Ecosystem Assessment transforms the way remote sensing data can be used to approach monitoring of carbon fluxes (CF) and biophysical variables (BV) in ecosystem and global vegetation monitoring. In a field where these two subjects have traditionally been treated as distinct entities, this book offers an integrated exploration of CF and BV retrieval through remote sensing. It not only delves into a wide array of approaches and methodologies but also assists readers in selecting the most suitable models based on available inputs and spatiotemporal scales.
Carbon Fluxes and Biophysical Variables from Earth Observation is a useful resource for Earth Observation specialists, particularly in Remote Sensing, machine learning, ecology, and plant physiology, to enhance and adapt their approaches and methodologies.
