Abstract:
The objective of this proposal is to determine how the composition of different terrestrial ecosystems affects their interaction with the energy, water, and biogeochemical cycles of the earth. This will be achieved by linking remotely-sensed imaging spectrometry estimates of above ground ecosystem composition to ED2, a state-of-the-art terrestrial biosphere model. Successful application of these approaches will pave the way for more
accurate regional- and global-scale predictions of how the earth system will change in the future one of NASA s key science questions and research objectives.
