Mangrove Forest Dynamics Using Very High Spatial Resolution Optical Remote Sensing

摘要: Abstract: Assessing the role of tropical forests in biogeochemical cycles is one greatest scientific challenges century. The impact climate change could increase mortality and decrease their ability to store atmospheric carbon dioxide. Efforts model forest dynamics these regions are hindered by lack ground measurements spatial-temporal overlap function management processes. Some models developed attempt show environment’s influence on dynamics, particularly studying capacity for canopy deformation (plasticity crown), as explained Purves et al. allow us better understand development intertree competition, species adapt changes how functions a whole.
