Assessing ice storm damage to hardwood forest canopies using the Advanced Solid-State Array Spectroradiometer (ASAS) and Landsat TM imagery
<p>A major ice storm in January 1998 damaged 17 million acres of forestland in the Northeastern United States and Quebec Province. In July 1998 the airborne multiangle hyperspectral sensor, Advanced Solid-State Array Spectroradiometer (ASAS), acquired imagery for nine ice damaged target areas in …

Ice storms as a disturbance factor in Appalachian oak forests
Ice (glaze) storms are frequent natural disturbances in eastern deciduous forests. Two opposing hypotheses exist in the literature regarding the effect of glaze on forest succession. In the first view, succession is said to be accelerated as pioneer species sustain greater damage than equilibrium …
