Predicted Surficial Blue Carbon Maps for Blackbird Creek and St. Jones River Tidal Salt Marshes using 2014-2023 Landsat-8 OLI records

These data tables reflect the predictions of a gradient boosted trees model for predicting soil organic matter (SOM) in the surficial layer of tidal marsh soils. The model was trained on soil core data related to its corresponding spectral characteristics from decadal Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager data (see associated publication Warner et al. "Leveraging a decade of Landsat-8 spectral records for mapping blue carbon storage in tidal salt marshes"). This is a modeled data product designed to illustrate spatial patterns of organic matter storage as predicted by satellite data.
