Description

This dataset includes estimates of annual forest aboveground biomass over the state of Maryland, USA, for the period 1984-2023. It was generated by a modeling approach that linked an ecosystem model called Ecosystem Demography (ED) model, airborne lidar data of canopy height in circa 2010, and the remote sensing based land cover change dataset (NAFD).
