In this #openaccess paper, we #review current use of #satellite #remotesensing in #savannas, provide an overview of the challenges of terminology and large-scale #mapping, summarize methods used to extract #vegetation information from satellite data, and recommend several areas of emerging opportunities that will help reshape our understanding of the #savanna biome. #eochat #academicmastodon #ScienceMastodon #earthobservation

Excellent review of satellite remote sensing for mapping #GrassyBiomes at regional and global scales.

This is crucial for #SavannaScience and the prevention of #Forestization of #OpenNaturalEcosystems such as #TropicalGrassyBiomes.

The EU and FAO need to read this, and other recent related work, and then realise they need to update their antiquated definition of "forest" based only on veg structure and ignoring #FunctionalTraits.
