biodiversity

This tutorial illustrates how to perform spectral diversity mapping from different types of remote sensing data, including Sentinel-2 data and imaging spectroscopy. It uses the following packages : biodivMapR, preprocS2, prosail, and spinR

This study evaluates Ecuador’s Socio Bosque Program (PSB), a payments-for-ecosystem-services initiative, using satellite imagery, field inventories, and landowner surveys. We find that PSB reduced deforestation by 9% in enrolled Amazon Basin areas between 2008–2014 and significantly curbed forest degradation. Enrolled forests contained 1–2 more tree species per hectare, including species more likely to be commercially valuable and threatened. Results suggest that the program’s greatest ecological benefits may come from preventing forest degradation, not just deforestation.

R scripts used to investigate whether biases in the fossil record sampling rate through geological time can bias global Phanerozoic diversity histories reconstructed using the phylogenetic diversity estimation (PDE) method.
