Article Synopsis
- Planted forests play a vital role in combating climate change and provide essential timber, non-timber products, and ecosystem services, with East Asia housing about 36% of these forests globally.
- Despite their significance, detailed information on the geographic distribution and tree species composition of these forests has been lacking.
- This study presents the first comprehensive spatial database of planted forests in East Asia, highlighting that China contributes 87% of the predicted 948,863 km² area, and offers accurate maps that enhance understanding of these forests' contributions to climate change mitigation and inform conservation strategies.
The significance of automatic plant identification has already been recognized by academia and industry. There were several attempts to utilize leaves and flowers for identification; however, bark also could be beneficial, especially for trees, due to its consistency throughout the seasons and its easy accessibility, even in high crown conditions. Previous studies regarding bark identification have mostly contributed quantitatively to increasing classification accuracy.

However, the spatial patterns of biomass C density and underlying factors in Northeast Asia remain unclear. Here, we characterized spatial patterns and important drivers of biomass C density for Northeast Asia, based on multisource data from in situ forest inventories, as well as remote sensing, bioclimatic, topographic, and human footprint data.
