Short summary
China’s forests play a crucial role in storing carbon and mitigating climate change, yet long-term high-resolution data on their biomass have been limited. We developed a 30 m annual forest aboveground biomass dataset from 1985 to 2023 using satellite data and deep learning. Our results reveal significant biomass gains, regional variations, and the impact of forest policies. This dataset provides valuable insights for climate research, conservation planning, and sustainable forest management.
