Terrestrial Biomass Pilot Project GOAL Estimate aboveground terrestrial vegetation biomass and carbon storage at high spatial resolution for the U.S by combining advanced satellite products with ground observations and evaluate how well these estimates meet the nation’s need for monitoring carbon storage / sequestration.

Terrestrial Vegetation Biomass Vegetation biomass density (Mg dry weight per hectare) is used to estimate the amount of carbon stored in vegetation and emitted to the atmosphere when the vegetation is disturbed or harvested Biomass is key to : understanding the global carbon cycle, defining policies in the context of the UNFCCC REDD initiative as a climate mitigation strategy, the mission and measurement objectives of NASA (e.g., DESDynI).

Vegetation Aboveground Biomass How to Measure / Estimate? Destructive sampling (in situ) – Harvesting sample trees, drying and weighing them. Non-destructive sampling (in situ) – Sampling measurements such as height and tree trunk diameter that are used in allometric relationships to extrapolate to biomass. Inference from Remote Sensing – Use of passive optical and/or active radar or lidar observations (land cover, leaf area index, height) that either can be related to biomass and carbon storage or can be used to extend point measurements/estimates to large regions Modeling – Process models based on multiple environmental variables, calibrated to account for different vegetation types.

Terrestrial Biomass Pilot Project Summary Estimate aboveground biomass and carbon storage by combining data from multiple satellite and airborne sensors with ground data. Assess the accuracy of derived estimates by using Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) and other high-quality forest carbon/biomass inventory data. Produce a continental U.S. map of above-ground biomass and carbon storage at high spatial resolution, fully mapping errors and uncertainties.
