Predicted soil organic carbon stock at 30 m in t/ha for 0-100 cm depth global / update of the map of mangrove forest soil carbon

This is the 2nd update of maps produced by Sanderman et al (2018). The improvements to the 3D spatial predictions include:

new updated global mangrove coverage map (contact Thomas Worthington),

spatiotemporal predictions to account for differences in spectral reflectance at the time of field work,

additional SOC points published in Rovai et al. (2018) used in model training (see gpkg file).

To open map in QGIS or similar, drag and drop the *.tif files. You can than add also the gpkg file contain the training points.

Production steps (ensemble predictions using SuperLearner) are explained in detail at:
