Vegetation Data for Kumasi, Ghana, 2014https://doi.org/10.60507/FK2/PVXHW5Bertrand Nerobonndata2023-09-182023-09-18T10:45:43ZThe 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, GhanaOtherEnglish2023-09-182014-07-012014-12-312014-12-222014-12-22GhanaCC BY-SA 4.0
