Forest Aboveground Biomass and Carbon Sequestration Potential for Maryland, USA.

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: October 20, 2026 at 11:55 PM | Dataset Last Updated: October 20, 2026
This dataset provides 90-m resolution maps of estimated forest aboveground biomass (Mg/ha) for nominal year 2011 and projections of carbon sequestration potential for the state of Maryland. Estimated biomass and sequestration potential were computed using the Ecosystem Demography (ED) model, which integrates data from multiple sources, including: climate variables from the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) Product, soil variables from the Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO), land cover variables from airborne lidar, the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) and the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), and vegetation parameters from the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program.
