NASA biosphere data are critical for understanding Earth's species, climate regulation and change, and its ecosystem processes.
Integrated Biosphere Simulator Model (IBIS), Version 2.5 The Integrated Biosphere Simulator (or IBIS) is designed to be a comprehensive model of the terrestrial biosphere; the model represents a wide range of processes, including land surface physics, canopy physiology, plant phenology, vegetation dynamics and competition, and carbon and nutrient cycling. The model generates global simulations ...
One of the most consequential forces shaping our planet is ourselves — the human species. When humans build cities, plant or cut down forests, grow crops, burn fuel, and alter bodies of water, it can have profound impacts on Earth's biosphere, both positive and negative. Understanding the ways in which humans interact with the environment and how the resulting changes affect Earth’s ...
The Terra and Aqua combined Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Land Cover Type (MCD12Q1) Version 6.1 data product provides global land cover types at yearly intervals. The MCD12Q1 Version 6.1 data product is derived using supervised classifications of MODIS Terra and Aqua reflectance data. Land cover types are derived from the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme ...
