Table 1 Lidar and optical remote sensing metrics are sensitive to possible leaf-level mechanisms for a seasonal green up of Amazon forests Figure 1: Seasonal changes in sun-sensor geometry generate ...

This natural-color image shows the importance of sun-sensor geometry. On the left, sunlight is backscattered by the Amazon rain forest, making green leaves appear brighter in some areas. To the right, ...

For the past eight years, scientists have been working to make sense of why some satellite data seemed to show the Amazon rain forest “greening-up” during the region’s dry season each year from June ...
