A high-resolution canopy height model of the Earth. [PDF]
Nat Ecol Evol, 2023 AbstractThe worldwide variation in vegetation height is fundamental to the global carbon cycle and central to the functioning of ecosystems and their biodiversity. Geospatially explicit and, ideally, highly resolved information is required to manage terrestrial ecosystems, mitigate climate change and prevent biodiversity loss.

Canopy height and biomass distribution across the forests of Iberian Peninsula. [PDF]
Sci DataAbstract Accurate mapping of vegetation canopy height and biomass distribution is essential for effective forest monitoring, climate change mitigation, and sustainable forestry. Here we present high-resolution remote sensing-based canopy height (10 m resolution) and above ground biomass (AGB, 50 m resolution) maps for the forests of the ...
