Forests comprise the greatest storage of carbon on land,  provide fuel for millions, are the habitat for most terrestrial  biodiversity, and are critical to the economies of many countries. Yet  changes in the extent and dynamics of forests are inherently difficult  to detect and quantify. Remote sensing technologies may facilitate the  measurement of some key forest properties which, when combined with  other information contained in various computer models, may allow for  the quantification of critical forest functions. This book explores  how remote sensing and computer modeling can be combined to estimate  changes in the carbon storage, or productivity, of forests -  from the level of the leaf to the level of the globe. Land managers,  researchers, policy makers and students will all find stimulating  discussions among an international set of experts at the cutting edge  of the interface between science, technology and management.
