Using a model tree ensemble method（MTE） to regress the seven reflectance bands of EOS-Terra-MODIS satellite data against country level forest biomass carbon density（BCD） of 2001–2005 provided by United Nations’ s Forest Resource Assessment（FRA）, we developed a global map of forest BCD at 1 km×1 km resolution for both 2001–2005 and 2006–2010.

Tropical forest biomass carbon stock slightly decreased(-0.31±0.60 Pg C yr-1); by contrast, temperate and boreal forest biomass increased(0.58±0.28 Pg C yr-1) during the same period. Our estimation of the global forest biomass carbon stock and its changes is subject to uncertainties due to lack of extensive ground measurements in the tropics, spatial heterogeneity in large countries, and different definitions of forest. The continuously monitoring of forest biomass carbon stock with MODIS satellite data will provide useful information for detecting forest changes.
Abstract
Forests played an important role in carbon sequestration during the past two decades. Using a model tree ensemble method（MTE） to regress the seven reflectance bands of EOS-Terra-MODIS satellite data against country level forest biomass carbon density（BCD） of 2001–2005 provided by United Nations’ s Forest Resource Assessment（FRA）, we developed a global map of forest BCD at 1 km×1 km resolution for both 2001–2005 and 2006–2010. For 2006–2010, the total global forest biomass carbon stock is estimated as 279.6±7.1 Pg C, and the tropical forest biomass carbon stock is estimated as 174.4±5.4 Pg C. During the first decade of the 21 st century, we estimated an increase of global forest biomass of 0.28±0.75 Pg C yr-1. Tropical forest biomass carbon stock slightly decreased(-0.31±0.60 Pg C yr-1); by contrast, temperate and boreal forest biomass increased(0.58±0.28 Pg C yr-1) during the same period. Our estimation of the global forest biomass carbon stock and its changes is subject to uncertainties due to lack of extensive ground measurements in the tropics, spatial heterogeneity in large countries, and different definitions of forest. The continuously monitoring of forest biomass carbon stock with MODIS satellite data will provide useful information for detecting forest changes.
