This second edition focuses on Tropical Dry Forests (TDF) in the Americas and provides a comprehensive overview of new studies conducted in the last decade, giving new insights into the most endangered ecosystem in the tropics. Written by experts in remote sensing, ecosystem services, and ecology, the book concentrates on four thematic areas such as LiDAR remote sensing, remote sensing and ecology, quantification of ecosystem services, and TDF ecology. The case studies presented in this edition provide information on how emerging technologies can be applied to analyze biophysical properties and the status of TDFs across different regions in Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, and Bolivia.
