This dataset includes GEDI points from 2019-2021 that are over forested areas of the Southern Rockies. Data points within a buffer of Census Bureau road polylines have been removed. Data points that had a fire or insect disturbance in the year of GEDI data collection have been removed. Disturbance data is from the disturbance stack derived by CU Boulder's CIRES Earth Lab in 2023.
