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: generalbicsscSavannaalternative stable statesMODIS VCFland surface temperaturealbedoCerradoAmazonvegetation typeopticalsarsynergismmappingsavannapost oakvegetation indexecosystem functionphenologyencroachmentevergreendeciduousvegetationgrasslandfractional covertrendecoregionbare soillivestockproduction systemsremote sensingvegetation dynamicsvegetation persistenceconservationsavannasAfricavegetation indicesoak-grass savannahydrologySentinel-2land covergrasslandsforestsmonitoringrandom forestspectral indexesvegetation seasonalityaboveground biomassCerrado ecosystemSARallometrybiomasscarboncost-effectiveLiDARTLSplant water availabilitytree phenologyphenocamsMODISterrestrial laser scanning (TLS)Above Ground Biomass (AGB)3D point cloudvegetation structureResearch & information: generalHill Michael Jedt126407Hill Michael JothBOOK9910557426603321Remote Sensing of Savannas and Woodlands3038523UNINA
