NASA captures sequestered carbon of 9.9 billion trees with deep-learning and satellite images
Wood, foliage and root carbon of 9,947,310,221 trees with crown area >3 m2 across 9.7 million km2 were mapped. a, Our study covered the southern Sahara, the Sahel and the northern Sudanian zone of Africa and showed the aggregated carbon density (foliage + wood + root) per hectare for 9,947,310,221 tree crowns from the 0–1,000 mm year−1 mean precipitation area. The isohyets mark the…
