Abstract

Tree-grass systems occupy nearly a quarter of the terrestrial surface (27 million km2). They face an uncertain future given pressures from land use change and climate change. Serious systems analysis, modeling, scenario development and ecosystems futures assessment for savannas is needed to avoid past mistakes in land management. Integration of measurement from field and remote sensing with multi-scale modeling is required to realize this. This paper summarizes the state of knowledge, key issues and capacity for savanna systems modeling using remote sensing. The authors contributed to a NASA workshop on remote sensing and modeling savannas
