Fig. 1: Spatial pattern of aboveground biomass carbon (AGC) changes the Amazon biome.
From: Human influence on Amazon’s aboveground carbon dynamics intensified over the last decade
a–d: (a) change of AGC 2010-2020 (∆) from vegetation optical depth (VOD) measurements at a coarse 0.25° spatial resolution (~ 27.8 km at the Equator), b reconstructed delta AGC 2010-2020 at high spatial resolution (~100-m at the Equator), (c) comparison of 100 m AGC stocks against forest plot data at a 0.1° spatial resolution, with a 1:1 line in red, and (d) the variance ratio of biomass change (2010-2018) with and without our reconstruction. Black pixels in (a, b) represent flooded areas and masked outliers (see “Materials and Methods”).
