Aboveground Biomass Density - International Space Station, LIDAR, L4A and L4B Models, Australia Coverage, 2020
This dataset contains predictions of the aboveground biomass density (AGBD) for Australia for 2020. Data were generated by the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) NASA mission, which used a full-waveform LIDAR attached to the International Space Station to provide the first global, high-resolution observations of forest vertical structure. Data include both Level 4A (~25 m footprints) and Gridded Level 4B (1 km x 1 km) Version 2. The Australian portion of the data was extracted from the original global datasets <a href=" https://daac.ornl.gov/cgi-bin/dsviewer.pl?ds_id=2056 ">GEDI L4A Footprint Level Aboveground Biomass Density</a> and <a href=" https://daac.ornl.gov/cgi-bin/dsviewer.pl?ds_id=2299 ">GEDI L4B Gridded Aboveground Biomass Density</a>.
