Forest Aboveground Biomass Maps (1988–2023) – Community of Madrid, Spain

<p dir="ltr">The dataset includes annual maps of forest aboveground biomass for the Community of Madrid (Spain) covering the period from 1985 to 2023. The maps were derived using a synergistic approach that combines data from airborne LiDAR (provided by the Spanish National Plan for Aerial Orthophotography, PNOA), Landsat satellite imagery, and the Spanish National Forest Inventory. </p><p dir="ltr">The combination of time-series Landsat data and LiDAR allowed for the generation of spatially explicit biomass maps that reflect forest aboveground biomass dynamics over 39 consecutive years.The maps were developed in study entitled <i>"Long-term annual estimation of forest above ground biomass, canopy cover, and height from airborne and spaceborne sensors synergies in the Iberian Peninsula"</i>, authored by M.A. Tanase, M.C.
