A survey of remote sensing-based aboveground biomass estimation methods in forest ecosystems (2016, methodology): “The MaxEnt approach has recently been used for biomass estimation in large areas of tropical regions (Saatchi et al. 2011b; Harris et al. 2012).”
Improved allometric models to estimate the aboveground biomass of tropical trees (2014, methodology): “Whether or not to include tree height as a predictor of AGB has generated serious controversies in the global change community (Baccini et al., 2012; Harris et al., 2012; Baccini & Asner, 2013).”
Aboveground carbon loss in natural and managed tropical forests from 2000 to 2012 (2015, background): “…estimates of gross carbon loss derived from carbon stock and forest area loss data vary greatly (from 0.81 to 2.9 PgC annually (Pan et al 2011, Harris et al 2012, Achard et al 2014)) with the greatest variance found between studies that employ remotely sensed-derived data versus those that…”
Land use patterns and related carbon losses following deforestation in South America (2015, background): “…South America have been extensively studied from the continental to the (sub)national scale (DeFries et al 2002, Baccini et al 2012, Eva et al 2012, Harris et al 2012, Hansen et al 2013, Achard et al 2014, Beuchle et al 2015, Velasco Gomez et al 2015) but the link to specific proximate drivers is…”
Closing a gap in tropical forest biomass estimation: taking crown mass variation into account in pantropical allometries (2016, background): “Monitoring forest carbon variation in space and time is both a sociopolitical challenge for climate change mitigation and a scientific challenge, especially in tropical forests, which play a major role in the global carbon balance (Hansen et al., 2013; Harris et al., 2012; Saatchi et al., 2011).”
Carbon emissions from tropical forest degradation caused by logging (2014, methodology): “…the main focus has been on the first ‘D’, deforestation, in terms of emissions quantification (Achard et al 2002, DeFries et al 2002, 2007, Baccini et al 2012, Harris et al 2012) and the kinds of policies and programs that could be put in place to reduce these emissions (Meridian Institute 2009).”
