Hyperspectral forest monitoring and imaging implications
2014
The forest biome is vital to the health of the earth. Canada and the United States have a combined forest area of 4.68
Mkm 2 . The monitoring of these forest resources has become increasingly complex. Hyperspectral remote sensing can
provide a wealth of improved information products to land managers to make more informed decisions. Research in this
area has demonstrated that hyperspectral remote sensing can be used to create more accurate products for forest
inventory (major forest species), forest health, foliar biochemistry, biomass, and aboveground carbon. Operationally
there is a requirement for a mix of airborne and satellite approaches. This paper surveys some methods and results in
hyperspectral sensing of forests and discusses the implications for space initiatives with hyperspectral sensing
