Amazon Forest Mortality and Biomass Turnover Maps

Maps of forest mortality and biomass turnover time for Amazon forests are provided, along with SHAP value results analyzing environmental effects. The dataset was created by Donghai Wu and last updated in April 2026. It includes CSV and RDS files totaling 6.8 MB.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of forest_mortality across the Amazon basin.
• Model environmental drivers of biomass_turnover_time using SHAP values from the provided XGBoost results.
• Validate regional carbon cycle models with mapped turnover_time estimates.
• Correlate climate variables with forest_mortality rates at a basin-wide scale.

Strengths

• Includes SHAP value outputs from an XGBoost model for interpretability.
• Covers the entire Amazon forest spatial domain.
• Available in CSV and RDS formats for accessibility.

Limitations

• Small dataset size of 6.8 MB suggests limited spatial resolution or derived data only.
• Unknown row count prevents assessment of statistical power for analysis.
• No raw input data columns are described, limiting reproducibility.
