Dataset Overview

Aboveground and coarse roots carbon storage for forests in northeastern New York State and northwestern Vermont. Six models based on forest cover of varying specificity; Smith et al. (2006) carbon storage tables (Models A, B, C) or IPCC (2006) carbon storage tables (Models D-high, -mid, and -low); and stand age (Pan et al. 2012). Pixel size is 30m. Forest cover data from 2014. See the following publication for further information regarding methods, significance, etc: Adams, A. B., Pontius, J., Galford, G. L., Merrill, S. C., & Gudex-Cross, D. (2018).

Purpose
