Validation Report
This document provides validation and intercomparison results for the Planet Forest Carbon Diligence products. It is intended for users of geospatial data interested in working with Forest Carbon Diligence data, which estimates aboveground carbon density, canopy cover, and canopy height.
The Forest Carbon Diligence products quantify — globally and annually — the density of carbon stored in trees, the area occupied by trees, and stand-level mean canopy height. These estimates are produced from machine learning models trained on historical satellite observations, airborne LiDAR data, and spaceborne LiDAR data. Please see the Forest Carbon Diligence Technical Specification for more information about methods.
