Aboveground Biomass Stock and Change 30 m

This dataset quantifies aboveground biomass change (Mg/ha/y), aboveground biomass stock (Mg/ha), forest cover, forest area degradation, forest area gain, and forest area loss at 30 m spatial resolution, with global coverage annually from 2000 onwards. Data includes pixel-level variable uncertainties (± standard error).

Frameworks

EUDR CSRD ESRS E1 Voluntary carbon (VCS, Gold Standard) SBTN

Use cases

  • EUDR deforestation due diligence on commodity sourcing parcels
  • Carbon stock baselining for voluntary carbon project registration
  • Annual biomass monitoring for science-based forest commitments
  • GHG inventory reporting with pixel-level uncertainty quantification

Who uses this

Corporate sustainability teams and commodity traders use the 30 m data's longer time series — annual coverage from 2000 — to demonstrate deforestation-free sourcing for EUDR operator due diligence. Carbon project developers rely on the historical record to build reference scenarios and prove additionality. ESG analysts at financial institutions use it to screen equity portfolios against deforestation-linked commodity exposure.
