Forest Inventory and Analysis Above Ground Forest Biomass (Image Service)

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>This Biomass and Carbon per Acre dataset was compiled for the 48-state CONUS Area in order to identify local, state and regional trends in forest cover and landscape composition. It can be used as a graphic, as inputs to GIS overlay procedures, or to summarize average or total amounts of forest attributes within analysis areas of interest. Through application of a nearest-neighbor imputation approach, mapped estimates of forest biomass density were developed for the contiguous United States using the annual forest inventory conducted by the USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program, MODIS satellite imagery, and ancillary geospatial datasets. This data product contains the following 7 raster maps: Aboveground Forest Biomass, Belowground Forest Biomass, Forest Tree Bole Biomass, Forest Sapling Biomass, Forest Stump Biomass, Forest Top Biomass, Woodland Species Biomass. All layers have a 250 meter pixel resolution and values represent biomass pounds per acre. The paper on which these maps are based may be found here: https://dx.doi.org/10.2737/RDS-2013-0004 Access to full metadata and other information can be accessed here: https://dx.doi.org/10.2737/RDS-2013-0004</span></p><p></div></div></div></p>
