Mapping and monitoring carbon stocks with satellite observations: a comparison of methods
Description: Mapping and monitoring carbon stocks in forested regions of the world has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years as deforestation accounts for up to 30% of anthropogenic carbon emissions. The authors review the potential for satellites to measure carbon stocks, specifically aboveground biomass (AGB), and provide an overview of a range of approaches that have been developed and used to map AGB across a diverse set of conditions and geographic areas.
