Multi-scale Remote Assessment of Phenology of Photosynthesis and Productivity of Northern Forests
… to chlorophyll content, are often limited in monitoring the phenology of evergreen conifers due to the retention of green foliage year-round. Therefore, the main goal of my thesis is to evaluate the ability of carotenoid sensitive vegetation indices, photochemical reflectance index (PRI) and …

Biogeochemistry of Carbon on Disturbed Forest Landscapes
Carbon accreditation of forest development projects is essential for sequestering atmospheric CO2 under the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol. The carbon sequestration potential of surface coal-mined lands is not well known. The purpose of this work was to determine how to measure carbon …
