Tropical Tree Cover

This layer displays tree extent at the ten-meter scale and tree cover at the half hectare scale to enable accurate monitoring of trees in urban areas, agricultural lands, and in open canopy and dry forest ecosystems.

Forest Carbon Removals

TIFLayer

This gross removals layer is part of the forest carbon flux model described in Harris et al. (2021). This paper introduces a geospatial monitoring framework for estimating global forest carbon fluxes which can assist a variety of actors and organizations with tracking greenhouse gas fluxes from forests and in decreasing emissions or increasing removals by forests.

Forest Carbon Emissions

TIFLayer

This gross emission layer is part of the forest carbon flux model described in Harris et al. (2021). This paper introduces a geospatial monitoring framework for estimating global forest carbon fluxes which can assist a variety of actors and organizations with tracking greenhouse gas fluxes from forests and in decreasing emissions or increasing removals by forests.

Net Forest Carbon Flux

TIF

This net flux layer is part of the forest carbon flux model described in Harris et al. (2021). This paper introduces a geospatial monitoring framework for estimating global forest carbon fluxes which can assist a variety of actors and organizations with tracking greenhouse gas fluxes from forests and in decreasing emissions or increasing removals by forests.
