Annex 4 — Plot data (KML)

The plot locations are provided as KML, which any GIS and Google Earth read without conversion. Coordinates are geographic (WGS 84); each plot is 30 x 30 m, one Landsat pixel, and the point is its centroid.

The 45 project plots and the 180 control plots matched to them, as points at the plot centroid. Each placemark carries plot_type (within for a project plot, outside for a control plot), plotId and landcover_value.

2,330

The 2,228 donor plots and the 102 project-plot candidates that were carried into the matching, with their values at t = 0 (2018). Each placemark carries plot_type, plotId, Year, landcover_value, the seven Landsat bands B0 to B6, AGB, and the stocking index of each retained historical year, NDFI_2008 to NDFI_2018: the covariates of the matching are formed from these values (Select control plots).
