ABoVE: Landsat-derived Annual Aboveground Biomass Density and Uncertainty, 1984-2022
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This dataset provides annual aboveground biomass (AGB) maps and associated uncertainty maps for Alaska and Canada from 1984 to 2022 at ~30 m resolution (0.00027 degrees). The dataset was derived using predictors from synthetic spectral features from Landsat Collection 2 and Continuous Change Detection and Classification algorithm. Extensive collections of ground plots (n = 45,002) and airborne lidar data (n = 421,942) were compiled for reference AGB in order to calibrate AGB models using Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) per ecoregion. Fifty AGB predictions were derived, of which the mean and standard deviation was used as per-pixel AGB prediction and uncertainty, respectively. The dataset can promote better understanding of carbon dynamics across arctic and boreal regions of North America. The data are provided in cloud optimized GeoTIFF format.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
