From: High-fidelity national carbon mapping for resource management and REDD+
Major remote sensing inputs to the national carbon mapping study. (a) LiDAR flight coverage obtained by Carnegie Airborne Observatory, including systematic sampling designed to achieve robust coverage of national ecosystems, plus additional samples added as time and weather permitted, and three large validation areas set aside to evaluate national mapping approaches. (b) CLASlite fractional cover based on a mosaic of 158 Landsat scenes, and MODIS data in areas of poor Landsat coverage. Image is a red-green-blue composite, with % bare soil or substrate coverage shown in red, % photosynthetic vegetation (PV) shown in green, and % non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) shown in blue.
