Hi, very interesting paper! You might be interested in this new dataset. Next week we will have a paper in Nature where this dataset was used.

I wonder if I could use your data layer in my Zonation model? I’m working with the idea of a biodiversity and ecosystem services index to help calculate biodiversity value for offsetting, insetting, BNG etc. And to help monitor the effectiveness of conservation interventions.

Ooo. Very intrigued; looking forward to digging into this one!

2/ In this new paper we spatial variation on tropical forests worldwide linked to geology, climate, elevation and biogeography. Still much more to do, especially in Africa and Asia. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08663-2

3/ Satellite data can feel like magic, but none of this work is possible without laborious field data collection, often in tough conditions and low resources. So a round of applause for all who have got hot, sweaty, bitten and dirty exploring and describing our planet’s amazing tropical forests 👏🏽
