Global Distribution of Modelled Mangrove Biomass

This dataset shows the modelled global patterns of above ground biomass of mangrove forests. The dataset was developed by the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, with support from The Nature Conservancy. The work is based on a review of 95 field studies on carbon storage and fluxes in...

short_description	The is the first ever global map of predicted mangrove above-ground biomass, revealing the spatial variation in mangrove biomass, and giving more precise estimates of global and national-level biomass totals. Previous assessments had all extrapolated from mean biomass values, missing this spatial variation.
