Methodology
AGBwoodyis estimated using the product of tree cover fraction (TCF) and height (Hveg), which were both estimated with coarse resolution satellite data, as a proxy for the volume woody vegetation. This volume is converted to aboveground biomass using constant, biome-specific Biomass Calibration Factor (BCFbiome). AGBwoody= (Hveg* TCF) * BCFbiomeUnits: (Two AGBwoodyoutputs are provided in two units) 1. average gC/m2within 1km x 1km pixel 2. average tonne DryMatter/hectare (tDM/ha) within 1km x 1km pixel
