Aboveground Carbon (AGC) estimates according to forest types used within different datasets in Brazil’s biomes (a to f). The datasets are the Global Earth Observation (EO) dataset [17] and the National Greenhouse Gas inventory (NGHGI) [38]. Box plots show the range of the AGC values for regions identified as old growth forests and old secondary forests by the Global EO for the year 2000. Values for the NGHGI relate to AGC prescribed to forest pixels or former-forested pixels. Regions of old secondary forests in the Global EO relate to only regions that were classed as managed old-growth forest by the NGHGI for a more consistent comparison. Grey diamonds denote the mean AGC value
