Distance from forest edge in the Pantropics

distancefromforestedge_pantropics.zip - a zipped geotiff file in WGS84 coordinates whose pixel values indicate the distance in meters to the nearest forest edge as defined by: Baccini, A., Goetz, S.J., Walker, W.S., Laporte, N.T., Sun, M., Sulla-Menashe, D., Hackler, J., Beck, P.S.A., Dubayah, R., Friedl, M.A., Samanta, S., Houghton, R.A., 2012. Estimated carbon dioxide emissions from tropical deforestation improved by carbon-density maps.

Nature Climate Change 2, 182–185. regression_coefficients_as_shapefile - for calculating biomass storage within 100km grid cells across the pantropics. projected spatially as an ESRI Shapefile where the methods are defined as: method 1: Biomass= θ_1-θ_2⋅exp(-θ_3⋅Distance) method 2: Biomass= β_0+β_1⋅ln(Distance) method 3: Biomass = \eta_0+\eta_1
