is collecting spaceborne full waveform lidar data with a primary science goal of producing accurate estimates of forest aboveground biomass density (AGBD). This paper presents the development of the models used to create GEDI's footprint-level (~25 m) AGBD (GEDI04_A) product, including a description of the datasets used and the procedure for final...

... Mapping canopy height in a consistent fashion at global scale is key to understand terrestrial ecosystem functions, which are dominated by vegetation height and vegetation structure 7 . Canopy-top height is an important indicator of biomass and the associated, global aboveground carbon stock 8 . At high spatial resolution, canopy height models (CHMs) directly characterize habitat heterogeneity 9 , which is why canopy height has been ranked as a high-priority biodiversity variable to be observed from space 5 . ...
