From: The effectiveness of global protected areas for climate change mitigation
Each 1 km pixel within protected areas that had GEDI coverage was matched to ecologically similar unprotected 1 km pixels in the same country and biome (shown in yellow for this example from Brazil). GEDI data were then extracted from within each PA and its ecological counterfactuals, and differences in the distributions of height, cover, PAI, and AGB were analyzed (right). World base map made with Natural Earth.
