| 17 | +## General description |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Aboveground carbon density quantifies the expected density of carbon stored in woody biomass across the |
| 20 | +landscape, measured in mass per area (megagrams of carbon per hectare). It is not a direct estimate of the total |
| 21 | +carbon in that pixel, as the spatial resolution of each pixel is less than one hectare. To estimate total carbon in a |
| 22 | +pixel, users should normalize these values to account for the size of each pixel, or average the density values to 1 |
| 23 | +hectare in an equal area projection. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +The data layer has four bands: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +- **Aboveground Carbon Density** quantifies the density of carbon stored in woody vegetation, |
| 28 | + primarily trees and shrubs. Grassland, herbaceous, and soil carbon stocks are not quantified. |
| 29 | +- **Lower prediction bound (5th percentile)** of the 90% prediction interval for model predictions at each pixel. |
| 30 | +- **Upper prediction bound (95th percentile)** of the 90% prediction interval for model predictions at each pixel. |
| 31 | +- **Quality Assurance Flags** describing the expected quality of satellite data measurements, and |
| 32 | + whether any temporal gap-filling was applied. |
