Abstract
© 2014 The Authors. Global Ecology and Biogeography published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. ; The accurate mapping of forest carbon stocks is essential for understanding the global carbon cycle, for assessing emissions from deforestation, and for rational land-use planning. Remote sensing (RS) is currently the key tool for this purpose, but RS does not estimate vegetation biomass directly, and thus may miss significant spatial variations in forest structure. We test the stated accuracy of pantropical carbon maps using a large independent field dataset. ; Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation ; European Union's Seventh Framework Programme ; ERC ; NERC ; PRONEX -FAPEAM/CNPq. ; Hidroveg FAPESP/FAPEAM ; Universal/CNPq. ; INCT-CENBAM ; Investissement d'Avenir grants of the French ANR. ; Royal Society Fellowship ; Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award
