• Total Carbon

    The above-ground carbon (AGC) is expressed in Mg (megagrams or tonnes) of carbon per km2. It corresponds to the carbon fraction of the oven-dry weight of the woody parts (stem, bark, branches and twigs) of all living trees, excluding stump and roots, as estimated by the GlobBiomass project (globbiomass.org) with 2010 as the reference year.
