Monitoring Rainforest Dynamics in the Amazon with MODIS Land Products

The metabolism and phenology of Amazon rainforests significantly influence global dynamics of climate, carbon and water, but remain poorly understood. In this study we utilized Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) terrestrial ecosystem variables to analyze Amazon rainforest dynamics utilizing the satellite products; vegetation indices (VI), leaf area index (LAI), fraction of absorbed photosynthetically- active radiation (FPAR), and gross primary production (GPP). We found the MODIS products to greatly facilitate analyses and monitoring of ecosystem metabolism in both intact and disturbed rainforests.
