The BIOMASS package allows users to estimate above ground biomass/carbon and its uncertainty in tropical forests.
The main implemented steps are as follows :
- retrieving and correcting tree taxonomy;
- estimating wood density and its uncertainty;
- building height-diameter models;
- estimating above ground biomass/carbon at stand level with associated uncertainty;
- managing tree and plot coordinates;
- predicting landscape maps of AGBD with associated uncertainties using LiDAR products.
