  1. Flooding controls wetland carbon cycling and hinders accurate measurements of ecosystem structure from remotely sensed data. In wetlands, flood frequency and duration is critical to controlling carbon cycling, but high canopy cover can obscure fluctuations in inundation and increase uncertainty in measurements of ecosystem structure. Here we provide an overview of the challenges of recording accurate tree height measurements under flood conditions and the role that new digital technologies can play in characterizing sub-canopy inundation and reducing measurement uncertainty. Subsequently, we highlight the opportunities that spaceborne sensors can now provide for understanding the hydrological processes that control wetland ecosystem carbon cycling. We demonstrate this at a number of globally important high-carbon locations where changes in flooding regime impact ecosystem classification and measurement.
