    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.

    This file provides the global biomass map produced with the EU FP7 GEOCARBON project (www.geocarbon.net) and presented by Avitabile et al. (2014) at the Global Vegetation Monitoring and Modeling, 3-7 February 2014, Avignon (France). The map is obtained by combining and harmonizing the pan-tropical biomass map by Avitabile et al. (2016) with the boreal forest biomass map by Santoro et al. (2015). The map covers only forest areas, where forest are defined as areas with dominance of tree cover in the GLC2000 map (Bartholomé and Belward, 2005).
