Page Summary
-
Datasets are available for global vegetation height, including short vegetation and forest canopy.
-
Several datasets provide near-global gridded vegetation structure metrics and biomass density at different resolutions (1km, 6km, 12km).
-
Some datasets are derived from lidar data, including spaceborne and airborne sources.
-
Datasets are produced by initiatives like Global Pasture Watch and utilize data from NASA missions like GEDI and GLAS, and NEON.
