Abstract
The TreeMap dataset provides detailed spatial information on forest characteristics, including number of live and dead trees, biomass, and carbon across the entire forested extent of the continental United States. The objective of TreeMap is to combine the complementary strengths of detailed-but-spatially-sparse Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data with less-detailed-but-spatially-comprehensive LANDFIRE data to better estimate forest characteristics at a variety of scales.
