Monitoring Ecosystem Productivity Using PlanetScope Satellite Time Series

Climate-driven disturbances are changing the frequency and intensity of heat, moisture, and disease stress on forests, crops, and the ecosystem services we rely on. High revisit PlanetScope imagery allows us to closely monitor patterns of photosynthetic activity on the landscape, revealing trends in carbon and energy dynamics of vegetation in greater detail than ever before.

Join us as we delve into the fascinating realm of PlanetScope phenology time series analysis. Discover how we can detect and quantify trends in tree stress and growth with our partner at SKYFOREST® by First Resource Management Group (FRMG), who will be reviewing use cases of their SKYFOREST® tool that combines Lidar and satellite technology with Planet's high cadence satellite data. Explore how we can chart year-over-year shifts in ecosystem productivity, map near real-time carbon sink and source patterns, and how these valuable signals from satellites can help us stay ahead of our rapidly changing environments.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• What "primary productivity" is and why we monitor it
• How to leverage time-integrated vegetation indices for productivity mapping
• Use cases and examples for forestry, vegetation management, carbon accounting, and natural capital risk assessment
