Quite satisfactory performance of Google DeepMind Alpha Earth to estimate and map forest biomass over ~ 100.000 ha of my home region in Spain. I trained using GEDI biomass estimates and inventory plots. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

It would be terrific for the community if Google DeepMind let us know more details for each embedding - definition and what EO datasets have more weight on each band - so we can tune variable selections and address complexities such as mapping in the post-fire.

Stay tune for a follow-up paper on the latter. In any case, Alpha Earth is already a great product already despite its only a first version. It is flexible and enables mapping applications calibrated with GEDI metrics and reference data.
