Extended Data Fig. 7: Comparison of different fuel components for the Cerrado biome from three satellite-based approaches (TUD.S4F, GFED500m, and Leite et al.28 [L22.GEDI].
From: Burning of woody debris dominates fire emissions in the Amazon and Cerrado
The line-shaped patterns in L22.GEDI are from the spatial sampling of the GEDI sensor. Please note that the fuel components of the three approaches are not fully comparable and hence we report for each approach also the original name of a fuel component. For example, WDfuel in L22 includes woody biomass for trees with diameter at breast height > 10 cm while TUD.S4F treats shrubs as small trees. SUfuels in L22 includes all dead herbaceous and woody plant material at the surface and hence a direct assignment of SUfuel to the litter or woody debris classes in TUD.S4F and GFED500m is not possible. nRMSD is the normalized root mean squared difference relative to the mean value of the three approaches (or two for leaf biomass) and serves as measure of uncertainty across the multiple approaches. The numbers in each map represent the median value and percentiles 5% and 95% of the values in each map.
