Dataset description
Description
This dataset characterizes canopy heights of mangrove-forested wetlands globally for 2015 at 12-m resolution. Estimates of maximum canopy height (height of the tallest tree) were derived from the German Space Agency's TanDEM-X data that produced global digital surface models. Also provided are Lidar estimates of canopy height based on the GEDI instrument, which were used for training and validation of the TanDEM-X estimates of forest height. The coverage of these data follows Global Mangrove Watch's mangrove extent maps. These spatially explicit maps of mangrove canopy height can be used to assess local-scale geophysical and environmental conditions that may regulate forest structure and carbon cycle dynamics. Maps revealed a wide range of canopy heights, including maximum values (>60 m) that surpass maximum heights of other forest types,
