Forest Growing Stock Volume Map of Central Siberia

Caption

This is a forest growing stock volume (GSV) map of Central Siberia, obtained with the BIOMASAR algorithm using one-year of Envisat Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar Global Monitoring mode images acquired in 2005. GSV is represented in shades of green between 0-500 cubic meters per hectare. The GlobCover Land Cover map was used as the background for non-forested areas. Map projection: Albers (standard parallels 56 and 73 degree N).
