The tree model explained 82% of the variance in aboveground biomass density, with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 25 tC/ha (Baccini et al, 2008 ERL)
Improved Direct Estimation compared to Classify & Multiply approach using Land Cover

Institutional capacity ?
Which monitoring system is the best for your country ? Do you have the institutional capacity go step by step Identify partners to assist you with training (Universities, NGOS, etc)
