This resource details the lidar data collection methods employed by NSF NEON to map vegetation height, density, and other surface characteristics over large regions. Using airborne sensors, lidar provides detailed 3D pictures of forest structure, crucial for ecological research. It highlights the advantages of active sensors like lidar for comprehensive ecosystem parameter mapping.

This resource provides access to version 1.2 of the Global Forest Change dataset, offering detailed information on forest extent and loss from 2000 through 2014. The data is derived from time-series analysis of Landsat imagery, with updates incorporating Landsat 8 OLI for more recent years. Users can download the dataset and are encouraged to register for updates.

Forêt ouverte serves as the official portal for accessing ecoforest data provided by the Government of Québec. It features an interactive map that enables users to explore a wide array of environmental and forestry information. The platform also offers various tools and resources, including a map catalog, search functionalities, and contact options for support.

The Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) offers a comprehensive portfolio of satellite-derived products for land monitoring across Europe. This includes full-coverage land cover and use data, land cover in priority areas, and bio-geophysical variables, supporting environmental policies and sustainable resource management. The service provides access to a dataset catalogue and a data viewer for exploring available products like EU-DEM.

Earth Engine combines a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with planetary-scale analysis capabilities. It enables scientists, researchers, and developers to detect changes, map trends, and quantify differences on the Earth's surface, leveraging Google's cloud infrastructure.

The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) offers access to a variety of scientific databases, supporting research into tropical biodiversity and ecosystems. These resources are vital for scientists studying the unique environments of the tropics, particularly in Panama.

This clearinghouse serves as a central repository for the U.S. Forest Service's geospatial data. It offers downloadable datasets, map services, and various raster and vector products relevant to forestry, land management, and environmental monitoring. Users can explore data related to forest conditions, land cover, hazards, and topographic features.

This resource provides global, remote-sensing supported environmental layers at 1-km resolution for assessing status and trends in biodiversity, ecosystems, and climate. It offers two versions of consensus land-cover datasets, integrating multiple satellite products.

This dataset offers Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Level 4A Version 2 predictions of aboveground biomass density (AGBD) in Mg/ha and associated standard error estimates. It is derived from lidar waveform relative height metrics, calibrated with field plot data. The data covers the global latitude band observed by the International Space Station (ISS), providing crucial information for ecosystem and land cover studies.
