Mapping and estimating the total living biomass and carbon in low-biomass woodlands using Landsat 8 CDR data

Abstract Background A functional forest carbon measuring, reporting and verification (MRV) system to support climate change mitigation policies, such as REDD+, requires estimates of forest biomass carbon, as an input to estimate emissions. A combination of field inventory and remote sensing is expec...
