Abstract

This dataset relates to the work presented in the paper Wenquan Dong, Edward T.A. Mitchard, Maurizio Santoro, Man Chen, Charlotte E. Wheeler, 'A new circa 2007 biomass map for China differs significantly from existing maps' (in submission).
This dataset is a 50m circa 2007 aboveground biomass (AGB) map for China. We made the aboveground biomass map using the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESAT) Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array L-band SAR (PALSAR), Landsat, Environmental Satellite (Envisat) Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR), Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) remote sensing data combined with Random Forest regression, implemented in Google Earth Engine.
