Global forest plot data for earth observation and land surface modelling
The International Forest Biomass Network (IFBN) is an international cooperation to establish and maintain a global in-situ forest biomass database. IFBN is launched under the auspices of the European Space Agency, to provide ground biomass data measurements for the Earth Explorer mission BIOMASS.
This database will be essential for validating and improving global satellite observations and land surface models. The long-term objective of this activity is to build a global, open and freely accessible database of relevant forest parameters.
