摘要
Forest disturbances are thought to play a major role in controlling land-atmosphere fluxes of carbon. Under the auspices of the North American Carbon Program, the LEDAPS (Landsat Ecosystem Disturbance Adaptive Processing System) and NACP-FIA projects have been analyzing the Landsat satellite record to assess rates of forest disturbance across North America. In the LEDAPS project, wall-to-wall Landsat imagery for the period 1975-2000 has been converted to surface reflectance and analyzed for decadal losses (disturbance) or gains (regrowth) in biomass using a spectral "disturbance index". The NACP-FIA project relies on a geographic sample of dense Landsat image time series, allowing both disturbance rates and recovery trends to be characterized. Preliminary results for the 1990's indicate high rates of harvest within the southeastern US, Eastern Canada, and the Pacific Northwest, with spatially averaged (similar to 50x50 km) turnover periods as low as 25-40 years. Lower rates of disturbance are found in the Rockies and Northeastern US.
