Perched high above the forest floor, the tropical forest canopy represents a vibrant ecosystem teeming with life and pivotal to our planet’s health.As the primary mode of carbon storage, this lush upper layer not only serves as a sanctuary for countless species but also plays a crucial role in regulating climate change.

Tropical forest canopy height is a critical measure that reflects the health and productivity of the world’s forests, often referred to as the “lungs of the Earth” due to their vital role in carbon storage.Recent studies leveraging NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) have provided profound insights into how climate change impacts these ecosystems.
