AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
This page provides access to various GEDI (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation) datasets, including canopy height, biomass density, and canopy cover metrics.
-
GEDI data is available in different levels of processing (L2A, L2B, L4A, L4B), offering both vector and raster formats.
-
Datasets cover topics like aboveground biomass density, canopy cover and height, and are available at varying spatial resolutions.
-
In addition to GEDI, this page also includes the MODIS Vegetation Continuous Fields product and the USFS TreeMap dataset for forest characteristics in the US.
-
These datasets are valuable for studying forest structure, biomass estimation, and carbon monitoring.
