A comprehensive decadal forest inventory for Kashmir Himalaya, India

The repository contains observed Above Ground Biomass (AGB) estimates of 6,220 individual trees at 275 sample plots chosen for AGB assessment in the forests of Kashmir Himalaya. The AGB is assessed as a function of dbh using various allometric equations developed specifically for the region. It also contains the AGB for the years 1978, 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2021 predicted using a topographically augmented multivariate regression model. The extent of forest, delineated using on-screen digitization using Landsat and Sentinel image collection at a decadal scale is also provided for the years 1978, 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2021.
