This paper describes the technical development and accuracy assessment of the most
recent and improved version of the SoilGrids system at 250m resolution (June 2016 update). …

Country-specific soil organic carbon (SOC) estimates are the baseline for the Global SOC
Map of the Global Soil Partnership (GSOCmap-GSP). This endeavor is key to explaining the …

Soil moisture plays a key role in the Earth’s water and carbon cycles, but acquisition of
continuous (ie, gap-free) soil moisture measurements across large regions is a challenging task …

Annual soil moisture estimates are useful to characterize trends in the climate system, in the
capacity of soils to retain water and for predicting land and atmosphere interactions. The …

There is an increasing need for approaches to determine reference emission levels and
implement policies to address the objectives of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and …

Environmental observatory networks (EONs) are coordinated efforts to provide knowledge
that ultimately delivers transformational ecological science from regional to global scales. We …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) information is fundamental for improving global carbon cycle
modeling efforts, but discrepancies exist from country‐to‐global scales. We predicted the spatial …

Mangroves cover less than 0.1% of Earth’s surface, store large amounts of carbon per unit
area, but are threatened by global environmental change. The capacity of mangroves …

The proper estimation of above-ground biomass (AGB) stocks of managed forests is a
prerequisite to quantifying their role in climate change mitigation. The aim of this study was to …

Accurate estimates of habitat extent and rates of change are crucial inputs for the global,
regional, and national assessments that guide policy-making and prioritize strategies. This can …
