This layer depicts the predominant (largest of 3 major pools in short tons per pixel) major forest carbon pools of the Continental United States. The major forest carbon pools are Live, Dead, and Organic Soil. The layer was created from USFS Forest Inventory & Analysis plot data collected from 2014-2018.

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>This layer was developed using data from over 213,000 national forest inventory plots measured during the period 2014-2018 from the USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program, in conjunction with other auxiliary information. Roughly 4,900 Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager scenes, collected during the same time period, were processed to extract information about vegetation phenology. This information, along with climatic and topographic raster data, were used in an ecological ordination model of tree species. The model produced a feature space of ecological gradients that was then used to impute FIA plots to pixels. The plots imputed to each pixel were then used to assign values of estimated carbon (in short tons per pixel) across 9 carbon pools.</span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>For more information about the methods used to produce this dataset please see the following references:</span></p><ul><li><p><span>Wilson, Barry T.; Knight, Joseph F.; McRoberts, Ronald E. 2018.
