They developed a two-step, easily replicable methodology to estimate forest canopy fuel parameters, namely, canopy height (Hm), canopy cover (CC) and canopy base height (CBH), for the entire European territory, based on GEDI LiDAR. 2/3

Boreal fires, typically accounting for 10% of global fire carbon dioxide emissions, contributed 23% in 2021.
Do you want to know how Zheng B., @EmilioChuvieco and other colleagues have monitored these emissions?
