Data from dissertation: 'Landscape and Aboveground Biomass Dynamics of Brazilian Savanna using airborne LIDAR and MapBiomas datasets : case study of Rio Vermelho Watershed, Brazil'

This dissertation was submitted to University of Manchester as part of MSc GIS program This repository contains: 1) Contains the R language code used in the dissertation (CHM_&amp;_LiDAR_metric.R; Landscape_metric.R; Generalized_Linear_Model.R; Random_Forest_Model.R). <br> 2) Canopy Height Model (CHM) and 56 LiDAR metric raster files with a resolution of 1m (CHM_&amp;_LiDAR_metric_2014.zip; CHM_&amp;_LiDAR_metric_2018.zip), the original LiDAR data come from Brazil project supported by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), the US Forest Service, USAID, and the US Department of State. <br> 3) AGB raster files with a resolution of 10m (AGB_2014.tif; AGB_2018.tif; AGB_dynamic.tif), field plots used for AGB estimation come from Sabrinado Couto de Miranda from University of Goiás State (UEG), Brazil, and her team. <br> 4) Landscape metric interpolation raster file (SHDI.tif; SHEI.tif; AREA_CV.tif; CIRCLE_MN.tif; SHAPE_MN.tif) with a resolution of 10m, land cover map Map come from Biomas team for landscape metric calculation.
