This book provides a current snapshot of the geographical focus and application of the latest sensors and sensor combinations in savannas and woodlands. It includes feature articles on terrestrial laser scanning and on the application of remote sensing to characterization of vegetation dynamics in the Mato Grosso, Cerrado and Caatinga of Brazil. It also contains studies focussed on savannas in Europe, North America, Africa and Australia. It should be important reading for environmental practitioners and scientists globally who are concerned with the sustainability of the global savanna and woodland biome.Research & information: generalbicssc3D point cloudAbove Ground Biomass (AGB)aboveground biomassAfricaalbedoallometryalternative stable statesAmazonbare soilbiomasscarbonCerradoCerrado ecosystemconservationcost-effectivedeciduousecoregionecosystem functionencroachmentevergreenforestsfractional covergrasslandgrasslandshydrologyland coverland surface temperatureLiDARlivestockmappingMODISMODIS VCFmonitoringn/aoak-grass savannaopticalphenocamsphenologyplant water availabilitypost oakproduction systemsrandom forestremote sensingsarSARsavannaSavannasavannasSentinel-2spectral indexessynergismterrestrial laser scanning (TLS)TLStree phenologytrendvegetationvegetation dynamicsvegetation indexvegetation indicesvegetation persistencevegetation seasonalityvegetation structurevegetation typeResearch & information: generalHill Michael Jedt126407Hill Michael JothBOOK9910557426603321Remote Sensing of Savannas and Woodlands3038523UNINA
