Abstract
Here we present aboveground biomass (AGB) estimates from individual tree diameters scaled to whole-tree biomass estimates using generalized allometric equations for 35 National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) sites within the United States and Puerto Rico. These data are in both a standalone data file made publicly available via Figshare and as an R data package (NEONForestAGB) that allows for direct import of data into the R statistical computing environment. AGB is an Essential Climate Variable (ECV), yet biomass estimation from large forest inventory data can be cumbersome. Here we seek to provide a useful data set for community use from NEON data. The data set includes 92,281 unique individuals of 478 different species from 1,216 terrestrial observation plots for 360,570 biomass estimates between the years 2014 and 2023.
期刊介绍：
JGR-Biogeosciences focuses on biogeosciences of the Earth system in the past, present, and future and the extension of this research to planetary studies. The emerging field of biogeosciences spans the intellectual interface between biology and the geosciences and attempts to understand the functions of the Earth system across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Studies in biogeosciences may use multiple lines of evidence drawn from diverse fields to gain a holistic understanding of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems and extreme environments. Specific topics within the scope of the section include process-based theoretical, experimental, and field studies of biogeochemistry, biogeophysics, atmosphere-, land-, and ocean-ecosystem interactions, biomineralization, life in extreme environments, astrobiology, microbial processes, geomicrobiology, and evolutionary geobiology
