Brief description
This dataset contains predictions of the aboveground biomass density (AGBD) for Australia for 2020. Data were generated by the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) NASA mission, which used a full-waveform LIDAR attached to the International Space Station to provide the first global, high-resolution observations of forest vertical structure. Data include both Level 4A (~25 m footprints) and Gridded Level 4B (1 km x 1 km) Version 2. The Australian portion of the data was extracted from the original global datasets GEDI L4A Footprint Level Aboveground Biomass Density and GEDI L4B Gridded Aboveground Biomass Density.Lineage

CreditWe at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
Data were collected to allow scientists to prepare aggregated and harmonized habitats and biomass data on a national scale, providing details on the Earth's carbon cycle and bushfire fuel data.
