Biosphere | NASA Earthdata NASA biosphere data are critical for understanding Earth's species, climate regulation and change, and its ecosystem processes
Biodiversity Functions | NASA Earthdata NASA Earth observation data help researchers understand biodiversity issues such as species distribution, forest health, and water resource management
Integrated Biosphere Simulator Model (IBIS), Version 2. 5 - Earthdata Integrated Biosphere Simulator Model (IBIS), Version 2 5The Integrated Biosphere Simulator (or IBIS) is designed to be a comprehensive model of the terrestrial biosphere; the model represents a wide range of processes, including land surface physics, canopy physiology, plant phenology, vegetation dynamics and competition, and carbon and nutrient cycling The model generates global simulations
Anthropogenic Human Influenced Ecosystems - NASA Earthdata One of the most consequential forces shaping our planet is ourselves — the human species When humans build cities, plant or cut down forests, grow crops, burn fuel, and alter bodies of water, it can have profound impacts on Earth's biosphere, both positive and negative Understanding the ways in which humans interact with the environment and how the resulting changes affect Earth’s
MODIS Terra+Aqua Land Cover Type Yearly L3 Global 500m SIN Grid V061 Land cover types are derived from the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), University of Maryland (UMD), Leaf Area Index (LAI), BIOME-Biogeochemical Cycles (BGC), and Plant Functional Types (PFT) classification schemes
Wetlands | NASA Earthdata NASA’s wetland data help scientists study ecosystems, water cycles, climate change, and the effect of human infrastructure on the environment
Vegetation Index | NASA Earthdata NASA’s Earth-observing satellites collect multiple vegetation indices to help researchers study forests, water cycles, and biodiversity
Vegetation Near Real-Time Data - NASA Earthdata Near real-time data provided by NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for Earth observation (LANCE) can be used to monitor vegetation and crop conditions
Biogeochemical Cycles - NASA Earthdata Biogeochemistry is the study of the biological, geological, and chemical processes that occur in nature, and biogeochemical dynamics are the complex interactions between these processes including how the interactions change over time In particular, biogeochemistry examines the factors that influence cycles of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous and the impacts of the
Leaf Area Index - NASA Earthdata Leaf area index (LAI) is the amount of leaf area in an ecosystem More specifically, LAI is the one-sided green leaf area per unit of ground area in broadleaf canopies or one-half of the total needle surface area per unit of ground area in coniferous canopies Related to LAI is the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) by green vegetation Both measurements are used
