The first global-scale 30 m resolution mangrove canopy height map using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data

Abstract

No high-resolution canopy height map exists for global mangroves. Here we present the first global mangrove height map at a consistent 30 m pixel resolution derived from digital elevation model data collected through shuttle radar topography mission. Additionally, we refined the current global mangrove area maps by discarding the non-mangrove areas that are included in current mangrove maps.
