- Biosphere | NASA Earthdata
NASA biosphere data are critical for understanding Earth's species, climate regulation and change, and its ecosystem processes
- Biodiversity Functions | NASA Earthdata
NASA Earth observation data help researchers understand biodiversity issues such as species distribution, forest health, and water resource management
- 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
- MODIS Terra+Aqua Land Cover Type Yearly L3 Global 500m SIN Grid V061
Land cover types are derived from the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), University of Maryland (UMD), Leaf Area Index (LAI), BIOME-Biogeochemical Cycles (BGC), and Plant Functional Types (PFT) classification schemes
- Biogeochemical Cycles - NASA Earthdata
A biogeochemical cycle is the movement of chemical elements from organism to physical environment to organism in continuous pathways
- Anthropogenic Human Influenced Ecosystems - NASA Earthdata
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
- Wetlands - NASA Earthdata
NASA’s wetland data help scientists study ecosystems, water cycles, climate change, and the effect of human infrastructure on the environment
- Vegetation Index | NASA Earthdata
NASA’s Earth-observing satellites collect multiple vegetation indices to help researchers study forests, water cycles, and biodiversity
