Predicted soil organic carbon stock at 30 m in t/ha for 0-100 cm depth global / update of the map of mangrove forest soil carbon

This is the 2nd update of maps produced by Sanderman et al (2018). The improvements to the 3D spatial predictions include:

• new updated global mangrove coverage map (contact Thomas Worthington),

• spatiotemporal predictions to account for differences in spectral reflectance at the time of field work,

• additional SOC points published in Rovai et al. (2018) used in model training (see gpkg file).

To open map in QGIS or similar, drag and drop the *.tif files. You can than add also the gpkg file contain the training points.

Production steps (ensemble predictions using SuperLearner) are explained in detail at: 

• R code: https://github.com/whrc/Mangrove-Soil-Carbon/ (see "R_code/GMW_mangroves_SOC_30m.R")
