Objective
This subproject aims to assess how well the representation maps produced by Tessera perform in estimating peat depth. Peat depth provides insight into long-term below-ground carbon storage, making accurate estimation valuable for carbon accounting and ecological monitoring.
Dataset
The open Peatland ACTION dataset from Scotland consists of 160667 peat depth measurements (138363 measurements from year 2017 onwards).
