Vegetation Maps

NASA scientists have compiled a captivating video that maps how the Earth's surface has changed over a span of 20 years, using data from satellites. In the Northern Hemisphere, ecosystems wake up in the spring and sprout new leaves, while a fleet of Earth-observing satellites track the spread of the newly green vegetation

Researchers have developed a new system to map the world's "biomes" - large-scale vegetation formations - that may help track the effect of climate change on Earth's ecosystems.
