Above Ground Biomass (V1.0)
AGB model V1.0 - delivers global-scale predictions of aboveground biomass from 2013 to 2023. The model combines data from Landsat 8 and 9, ALOS PALSAR yearly mosaics (v2.0), SRTM slope and aspect and the GEDI AGB dataset to train a classifier for aboveground biomass estimation.
Key aspects of the model:
- Ecoregion-specific classifiers - to account for the diverse conditions, e.g. tree species - within different ecoregions, a separate classifier is trained for each region
- Historical analysis - the model allows for annual AGB predictions over a 10-year period, providing valuable insights into biomass trends and forest carbon dynamics
This powerful tool will offer precise, data-driven biomass assessments for better forest management, conservation efforts and climate impact studies.
