Objectives: The study is aimed at addressing the use of satellite data in ecological monitoring with emphasis on two parameters, land cover and ecosystem productivity. For land cover, the objective of the research is to determine improvements in land cover type identification with data from future sensors (simulated MODIS, Radarsat SAR), compared to research presently underway which emphasizes AVHRR. For productivity, the principal objective is to assess the feasibility of estimating forest primary productivity and net primary productivity using models that can be realistically applied over large areas yet have high spatial resolution. To be practical, the models should require a minimum of data that:
