Foundation-Model Earth Representations Enable Regional-Scale Forest Aboveground Biomass Monitoring Across the Northeastern United States

arXiv:2607. 27217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is a critical indicator of ecosystem productivity and terrestrial carbon storage, yet regional carbon monitoring remains constrained by the sparse spatial and temporal availability of field inventories and airborne structural measurements.

Turning spectra into images improves plant trait retrieval with 2D-CNNs

Hyperspectral reflectance spectroscopy enables non-destructive estimation of plant functional traits, yet current deep learning approaches process spectra as one-dimensional sequences, which limits how they capture long-range inter-band dependencies. We asked whether transforming 1D spectra into 2D image representations improves multi-trait prediction with convolutional neural networks (CNN).

Earth Observation Foundation Models for Terrestrial Ecohydrology: From Representation Learning to Process Inference

arXiv:2608. 15282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Earth observation foundation models (EOFMs) are emerging as reusable representation frameworks for data-driven retrieval, prediction and process modelling within ecohydrology, which integrate EO, meteorological forcing and process models to characterise coupled water, energy and carbon dynamics in vegetation and soil across scales.
