Description

The file describes tree diameters at breast height (DBH) and heights measurements of green spaces in Kumasi Ghana. The elevation and ground distance data are used to calculate the actual heights of trees. Both DBH and height data are then used to estimate tree biomass using appropriate biomass allometric equations. Quality/Lineage: Stratified random sample was used. The city was divided into 2 based on NDVI: (HDUZ with NDVI<0.11 and HDUZ with NDVI> 0.11). Green spaces were then generated within each zone and the vegetation sampled randomly based on random sample points generated using remote sensing techniques. Spatial data were obtained from RapidEye and Landsat. Purpose: The data is used to estimate green space carbon storage in the trees of Kumasi, Ghana

Expected crawler behaviour

Use a stable, truthful User-Agent with product/version and a working contact URL. Across all IP addresses and HTTP connections used by one crawler identity, allow no more than 5 requests in flight and wait at least 20 seconds between request starts. Crawl URLs listed in the catalog sitemap, including file pages and download URLs when they are published, use conditional requests, honor Retry-After, and apply exponential backoff after errors.

The welcome page may link to the interactive repository for human navigation. Automated clients must not treat that human link as a catalog crawl target.

Read the live machine-readable crawler policy before and during a crawl. Stop crawling when it reports CPU or memory utilization at or above 80% and 80% respectively.
