Based on satellite measurements from NASA
including LiDAR and MoDIS data plus on-the-ground field measurements, researchers
have posted carbon stock data for the
world's tropical forests on ArcGIS Online.
The data of the biomass of tropical forests is at a
500-meter resolution.This kind of resolution for the biomass of tropical forests has never been seen before. The
national level data set is freely available for use for scientific,
conservation, and educational purposes. Users should agree to cite the dataset as: A. Baccini, S J.
Goetz, W.S. Walker, N. T. Laporte, M. Sun, D. Sulla-Menashe, J. Hackler, P.S.A.
