- Ecosystems and Restoration - Maryland Sea Grant
Ecosystems and Restoration Share: The Chesapeake Bay is a productive and unique ecosystem, home to complex networks of animals, plants, and other organisms that have lived here for millennia Woven into this tapestry are human communities, some of which can trace back their histories hundreds of years
- Anthropogenic Human Influenced Ecosystems - NASA Earthdata
Our datasets useful to the study of human-influenced ecosystems include crop extent maps, urban air quality measurements, and land cover surveys These measurements and higher-order data products enable important studies into how humans shape Earth and how we can better care for ourselves and our home
- Biodiversity Functions | NASA Earthdata
The term "biodiversity" is used to describe the abundance and variety of life on Earth Having a diverse assemblage of plants, animals, and other organisms in a wide range of habitats promotes ecosystem productivity Thriving, diverse ecosystems help balance processes like nutrient storage and recycling, pollution filtration, and water resource maintenance In addition, diverse ecosystems trap
- Global Distribution of Root Profiles in Terrestrial Ecosystems
Description Rooting depths were estimated from a global database of root profiles that was assembled from the primary literature to study relationships of abiotic and biotic factors associated with belowground vegetation structure Variables used to characterize belowground vegetation structure include the depths above which 50% of all roots and 95% of all roots are located in the profile For
- Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation Lidar | NASA Earthdata
NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar data are used to construct detailed 3D maps of forest canopy height and branch leaf distribution
- Earth Observations of Blue Carbon Ecosystems - Earthdata
This ARSET training guides participants through mapping extent and quantifying carbon stocks of blue carbon ecosystems
- Wetlands - NASA Earthdata
NASA’s wetland data help scientists study ecosystems, water cycles, climate change, and the effect of human infrastructure on the environment
- Glaciers - NASA Earthdata
NASA's glacier data provide important information for tracking how glaciers affect Earth's ecosystems, communities, and climate
