Estimated daily emissions of methane from wetlands in North American for August 2019.
Estimates of aboveground biomass of live trees (diameter >2.54 cm) on forested lands in the conterminous U.S. Estimates were developed from the FIA component ratio method.
Overview of the assimilation system (CLM5-DART) that combines observations with model ensemble simulations from CLM5.0. Satellite-derived observations of aboveground biomass and leaf area index were used to adjust the simulated model state of CLM5.0. Source: Razcka et al. (2021)
ABGB outputs over CONUS derived from CARDAMOM vs. the CMS project-funded ABGB estimated from inventory and satellite data (Yu et al., 2021). The left panel shows the colormaps of differences between ABGB from CARDAMOM and ABGB from CMS for the years 2005, 2010, and 2015. The right panel is the scatter plot showing the pixel-level ABGB deviations from the 1:1 line for CARDAMOM- and CMS-derived outputs.
Categories of persistent mangrove forests on the coasts of Mexico.
30 m resolution maps of aboveground biomass density (AGBD) over the New England region in 2015. a) The mean of the posterior distribution sampled from a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) model. b) The AGBD estimate over an entire pixel adjusted by canopy cover (i.e., AGBD multiplied by canopy cover percentage).

Relative tidal elevation (Z*) representing diverse locations spanning the Conterminous United States.
The AVIRIS-NG instrument detected large methane plumes coming from Sunshine Canyon Landfill during its October 2016 overpass. The plumes are shown in a yellow to red gradient, with red representing higher concentrations of methane. Image credit: Cusworth et al. 2020.
Globally the tallest mangrove forests in coastal Gabon are estimated up to 63 m. The photo insets show locations where individual trees were measured in situ up to 65 m tall (Simard et al., 2019).
Estimated total ecosystem carbon for the northeast region of the U.S. for the years 1990 (left) and 2010 (right). The estimates were produced from an inventory-constrained version of the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach (CASA) carbon cycle process model.
