This dataset contains estimates of aboveground woody biomass density (AGBD) and woody canopy cover from the Greater Kruger National Park region, South Africa in September 2018 at 100-m resolution. Estimates were derived from data from the Phased Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar-2 (PALSAR-2) on the ALOS-2 ScanSAR using a Power Law Model (PLM) calibrated for natural savanna ecosystems. Training data for the PLM included AGBD and canopy cover from 1ha field plots derived from field measurements and Airborne laser scanning data. The PLM then used ALOS 2 PALSAR2 data to estimate AGBD and cover across the study area. This analysis was conducted as part of a NASA Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) project entitled SavannaBio: Biomass Estimation with New Spaceborne Missions for MRV in Dry Forests and Savannas.
