Research direction
Start with the linked PNAS and Springer papers and their supplementary materials to identify the available biomass and carbon-stock data. The issue names no repository files, entry points, tests, output format, or licensing requirements, so first define the map scope and dataset conventions; done should mean the agreed global biomass maps and accompanying metadata are added.
