Inferring the effects of partial defoliation on the carbon cycle from forest structure: challenges and opportunities

Abstract

In this Perspective, we marshal ground-based canopy and C flux data, and spaceborne Landsat observations of an experimental manipulation of partial canopy defoliation (Gough et al., 2013), to highlight challenges and opportunities in the remote detection and characterization of moderate severity disturbances and their effects on the C cycle.
