National-scale estimation of gross forest aboveground carbon loss: a case study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo

National-scale estimation of gross forest aboveground carbon loss: a case study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Recent advances in remote sensing enable the mapping and monitoring of carbon stocks without relying on extensive in situ measurements. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is among the countries where national forest inventories (NFI) are either non-existent or out of date. Here we demonstrat...
