Does the NASA GEDI data really show the eastern U.S. #forests as one of 6 or 7 #carbon storage hotspots in the world, on-par with Congo and Amazonian #Rainforests? If so how come no-one is talking about the importance of #Appalachian #ClimateForests ? Reality check appreciated.
@speak4trees2 Even more interesting when you consider net carbon balance ! essd.copernicus.org/articles/14/30…
@speak4trees2 @JohnMuirProject I'd love to hear more people talking about the importance of the #Appalachian forests for carbon and biodiversity. They're significant in carbon terms, as are Pacific Northwest forests and Boreal forests (out of range for GEDI).
@speak4trees2 Great point. Ans same with the upper Great Lakes forests. Ignored by and large by media.
