New harmonized global above and belowground biomass carbon density data #10

Closed climate-dude closed 1 year ago

climate-dude commented 4 years ago

A new synthesized dataset provides separate maps of global above and belowground biomass carbon density estimates across a wide range of vegetation types in 2010 at 300m resolution with quantified uncertainty. The relevant paper, published April 6, 2020, is:

Spawn, Seth A., Clare C. Sullivan, Tyler J. Lark, and Holly K. Gibbs (2020), Harmonized global maps of above and belowground biomass carbon density in the year 2010, Sci Data, 7, 112, doi:10.1038/s41597-020-0444-4

The authors compare these new estimates with the IPCC Tier-1 live C reported by Ruesh and Gibbs (2008) for year 2000, but they caution against using these differences as an indication of biomass change across that period since the products were produced by different methods.

Also, referred to in this paper:

"Despite the myriad of emerging mapping methods and products, to date, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Tier-1 maps by Ruesch and Gibbs 28 remains the primary source of global AGBC and BGBC estimates that transcend individual landcover types."
