Characterizing forest fragments in boreal, temperate, and tropical ecosystems.

An increased ability to analyze landscapes in a spatial manner through the use of remote sensing leads to improved capabilities for quantifying human-induced forest fragmentation. Developments of spatially explicit methods in landscape analyses are emerging. In this paper, the image delineation software program eCognition and the spatial pattern analysis program FRAGSTATS were used to quantify ...

Biomass production e ciency controlled by management in temperate and boreal ecosystems

Plants acquire carbon through photosynthesis to sustain biomass production, autotrophic respiration and production of non-structural compounds for multiple purposes1. The fraction of photosynthetic production used for biomass production, the biomass production e ciency2, is a key determinant of the conversion of solar energy to biomass. In forest ecosystems, biomass production e ciency was sugg...
