This
activity
explores
the
potential
impact
of
climate
variability
and
change
on
one
of
Earth's
increasingly
vulnerable
resources,
forests.
Although
the
activity
is
designed
to
tap
specific
skills
and
knowledge
through
scientific
inquiry,
its
broader
intent
is
to
stimulate
thought
about
the
long-term
impacts
of
a
warmer
planet.

The
purpose
of
this
project
is
to
present
the
holistic
study
of
the
biosphere
using
remote
sensing
technology.
The
intention
is
to
have
students
perceive
the
biosphere
as
containing
interlinked
environments
and
organisms,
an
ability
which
would
later
aid
students
when
they
are
introduced
to
concepts
like
trophic
levels
and
energy
flow
within
an
ecosystem
and
in
the
biosphere.
It
is
also
