Aerial Spectroscopy Reveals Complex Resource Economies in Peruvian Forests

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 30, 2016 — A high-fidelity imaging spectrometer onboard the Carnegie Airborne Observatory has enabled the creation of forest canopy maps of leaf nitrogen, phosphorous, and mass over a large portion of the biosphere covering nearly 200 million acres of Peru. Researchers from the Carnegie Institution for Science, using airborne imaging spectroscopy in combination with geospatial modeling, described a continuum of forest canopy nitrogen, phosphorous, and leaf mass relationships that are sensitive to the range of geophysical conditions found throughout the region. Colored portions of this map of...Read full article
