National Forest Map of the Day: And while we’re on the subject, here’s an informative infographic called the National Biomass and Carbon Dataset, which, according to Woods Hole Research Center scientist Josef Kellndorfer is “the largest high-resolution map of forest biomass yet assembled.”

A collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Geological Survey, the national forest map was assembled using satellite imagery and on-the-ground measurements collected over the course of six years.
