A geostatistical approach to enhancing national forest biomass assessments with Earth Observation to aid climate policy needs

“In collaboration with the Comisión Nacional Forestal (CONAFOR), this study develops a geostatistical model that integrates vegetation height and AGBD estimates from NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) and ESA’s Climate Change Initiative (CCI) with Mexico’s NFI to attain sub-national and geographically-explicit biomass predictions. The posited model includes spatially varying parameters, allowing flexibility to capture non-stationary relations between the EO-based covariates and NFI-estimated AGBD.”
