The Tool for measuring aboveground live forest biomass using remote sensing provides a method for determining aboveground live forest biomass (ALFB) through a combination of remote sensing data and field measurements to provide accurate and cost effective estimation of ALFB across varied LULC classification types and broad spatial extents. This tool is intended for use with VCS AFOLU methodologies and projects on forest land.
