Description

This dataset holds aboveground biomass (ABG) estimates for areas in the Great Slave Lake Region in the Northwest Territories of Canada for 2019. ABG was estimated from L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data obtained from JAXA's Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2/PALSAR-2) and supplemented with data from NASA's airborne Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle SAR (UAVSAR) instrument. SAR data were collected from 2017 to 2021. In situ AGB measurements at 14 plots sampled in 2019 were used to calibrate a logarithmic regression to relate the radar datasets to in situ AGB data. Then, AGB was mapped over available ALOS-2 tiles. The estimates are provided in 20-Mg ha-1 bins at 100-m resolution in cloud optimized GeoTIFF format.
