Abstract:
This study details the development of a U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico above-ground forest biomass (agb) product (baseline 2000) developed by the United States Environmental, Protection Agency (epa) that was compared to another AGB product developed by the U.S. Forest Service (usfs) for the same area. The USEPA product tended to over-predict in areas of low biomass and under-predict in high biomass areas when compared to observed plot data, but compared favorably to a Forest Inventory Analysis (fia) assessment of structure and condition of Puerto Rico forests (72.6 Mg/ha versus 80.0 Mg/ ha, respectively). AGB estimates were highly correlated with reference FIA biomass for both maps at their native spatial resolutions (USEPA: r =0.93, USFS: r = 0.92). AGB mean difference between both products was 33.5 Mg/ha (USFS mean = 106.1 Mg/ha; USEPA mean = 72.6 Mg/ha), a difference not out-of- scope when compared to other biomass comparative studies.
