Geographical Distribution of Woody Biomass Carbon in Tropical Africa: An Updated Database for 2000 (NDP-055.2007, NDP-055b))
Abstract
Maps of biomass density are critical inputs for estimating carbon emissions from deforestation and degradation of tropical forests. Brown and Gatson (1996) pioneered methods to use GIS analysis to map forest biomass based on forest inventory data (ndp055). This database is an update of ndp055 (which represent conditions in circa 1980) and accounts for land cover changes occurring up to the year 2000.
