Why are Earth Observation Systems as Measuring & Monitoring Tools Possible Now?
High resolution data are available via satellites and enables greater and more accurate information
Increased numbers of satellites means higher resolution images at lower cost
Detailed land use information is available at the global level allowing access to remote areas
Key Elements of Measurement
Ground measurements provide calibration and detailed sample frame analysis
Remote sensing takes the ground samples to extrapolate spatially to the landscape
Remote sensing characterizes spatial heterogeneity and land use
Spectral analysis provides rapid soil carbon measurement GIS provides the data base framework for organizing spatial
data Carbon and nitrogen models provide ex ante calculations
and detailed accounting Web-enabled geospatial information systems to provide
local and global access
