High resolution remote sensing for reducing uncertainties in urban forest carbon offset life cycle assessments

High resolution remote sensing for reducing uncertainties in urban forest carbon offset life cycle assessments

Abstract Background Urban forests reduce greenhouse gas emissions by storing and sequestering considerable amounts of carbon. However, few studies have considered the local scale of urban forests to effectively evaluate their potential long-term carbon offset. The lack of precise, consistent and up-...
