To depict the annual growth of biomass outside of croplands as well as the theoretically harvestable biomass yield outside of croplands for Kenya
The map depicts, in three broad categories, a rough estimate of the amount of wood that could be sustainably harvested. Closed forests in the mountain ranges, and forests and dense woodlands along the coast are the most productive. Areas that are generally classified as bushlands or woodlands on national maps fall in the mid-range of productivity.
Data entails annual woody biomass growth in cubic meters per square kilometer per year for the five vegetation classifications (closed forest, woodland, bushland, wooded grassland, and grassland) and their locations.
The World Resources Institute calculated these data based on FAO Africover and Kenya Ministry of Energy Survey data from 200 and 2002, respectively.
