What this is
ESA CCI Biomass v6 maps above-ground biomass and derived carbon stocks globally at 100m across multiple years from 2007–2022. Available via the CCI Open Data Portal and GEE community catalog. License: ESA CCI T&C permit use by any user for any purpose including commercial; attribution required (acknowledge ESA CCI + project + data providers). No CC identifier is present on the v6 record, but the permissions are equal to or broader than CC-BY.
Why we surface it
As ag-carbon markets develop, the baseline question — how much carbon is stored in this landscape, and has that changed — becomes practical. ESA CCI Biomass is the open reference at a scale relevant to land-use analysis.
