Abstract: 

To improve estimates of above- and belowground C pools in desert grasslands by providing improved maps of: - plant community type (Kremer & Running, 19931) - canopy structural parameters - soil/shrub/grass fractional cover Approach: exploit the unique information content of multi-angle remotely-sensed data from
