Detail of a dataset for French Guiana that estimates the aboveground live woody vegetation carbon density from multi-sensor satellite data in 2012.
The dataset estimates the carbon density (Mg C ha−1) of aboveground live woody vegetation for the pan-tropics (including tropical Africa, America and Asia) at a spatial resolution of 500 m using a combination of remote sensing and field data (for the period 2007–2008). Specifically, we used satellite-based light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data acquired at a nominal spatial resolution of 70 m together with 500 m multispectral surface reflectance imagery and other geospatial data layers.
