Apr 28, 2011 (Last modified Sep 29, 2011)
Description:
This map represents the mean for the 30 year period 1971-2000 of the annual peak value of the fraction of live vegetation carbon which is in herbaceous (as opposed to woody) vegetation.  The data is from output variable GFRAC in MC1 version B60.  The data values are unitless fractions and range from 0 to 1.  The mean value is 0.101.
