Aboveground biomass density of vegetation (Mg/ha)

This file provides the pan-tropical biomass map published by Avitabile et al. (2016) "An integrated pan-tropical biomass map using multiple reference datasets". The data shows the aboveground biomass in Mg per ha in the tropic region at approximately 1 km resolution. For a proper use and description of this dataset, please refer to the mentioned article.

Supplemental Information

You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add

and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details).

Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more

comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor

to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so

know what you do :-)
