Uncertainty Layer of Forest Basal Area Map at 0.027° Resolution

A 26.8 MB raster dataset containing the uncertainty associated with a stand basal area map. The spatial resolution of the uncertainty map across forest cover is 0.027° × 0.027°. It was authored by ANKITA MITRA and last updated on June 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Quantify prediction confidence for forest basal area based on the provided uncertainty layer.
• Propagate uncertainty in downstream ecological analyses based on the uncertainty map.
• Assess model reliability for forest inventory mapping based on the associated uncertainty data.
• Validate remote sensing-derived forest metrics by comparing uncertainty patterns.

Strengths

• Provides a specific uncertainty layer for a forest basal area map.
• Has a defined spatial resolution of 0.027° × 0.027°.
• Is available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
