WHRC debuts detailed maps of forest canopy height and carbon stock for the 
conterminous US
First hectare-scale maps of canopy height, aboveground biomass and 
associated carbon stock for the forests and woodlands of the conterminous 
United States

The Woods Hole Research Center has released the first hectare-scale maps 
of canopy height, aboveground biomass, and associated carbon stock for the 
forests and woodlands of the conterminous United States. The multi-year 
project, referred to as the National Biomass and Carbon Dataset (NBCD), 
produced maps of these key forest attributes at an unprecedented spatial 
resolution of 30 m. The digital raster data set is now freely accessible 
from the WHRC website at www.whrc.org/nbcd.
