Dataset was used in a scientifically peer-reviewed publication
- Description:
- This dataset was digitized from a USFS Excel spreadsheet detailing carbon storage in the USA forests (http://www.fs.fed.us/rmrs/forest-carbon/). This shapefile contains attributes documenting the total area of forestland (in thousands of acres), total forest carbon (in millions of metric tons) and carbon density (in metric tons/acre) for each state in the USA.
