SLIDE 24 Summary
- 1. Networking interdisciplinary ground
- bservations has a great potential for
predicting future ecosystem responses.
- 2. Effects of disturbances (ages) are
indispensable for accurate estimation of regional C-uptake.
- 3. Space-borne LiDAR has a high potential
for regional estimates of C-stocks
