This site is located just outside of the Kerzhenskiy Gosudarstvennyy Nature preserve, 450 km east of Moscow centered on 56.5037° N, 44.6998° E. 2021 ICESat-2 tracks are displayed over a 2018 WorldView-1 Digital Surface Model. 98th percentile relative canopy heights (h_can_20m) from ICESat-2’s ATL08 20 m vegetation product are depicted by height and sphere size, while associated stand ages from the Landsat-derived disturbance dataset are shown with a color gradient. ©Maxar 2018.
