    • AfriSAR: Mondah Forest Tree Species, Biophysical, and Biomass Data, Gabon, 2016

    Metadata Updated: December 6, 2023

    This dataset provides plot-level estimates of basal area, aboveground biomass, number of trees, maximum tree height, and basal-area-weighted wood specific gravity that were derived from observations of nearly 6,700 individual trees including tree family, species, DBH, the height of each tree, and their x, y location within 25 x 25 m subplots. These field data were collected from 15 1-hectare plots located across the Mondah Forest of Gabon as part of the AfriSAR Campaign in 2016. These biophysical and biomass data were used for training models to derive the AfriSAR remote sensing-based aboveground biomass products.
