Concepts

The identity, abundance, and relative proportions of plant species within a defined area or habitat

High fidelity remote sensing data collection using hyperspectral sensors to capture contiguous spectral bands for vegetation and surface characterization

Pattern of fire occurrence including frequency, intensity, and timing that shapes ecosystem dynamics

The biogeographic transition zone between subalpine forest and alpine tundra, representing the elevational limit of individual trees with an upright growth form

Method using tree-ring fire scars to reconstruct historical fire patterns across landscapes
