An article by ClickGreen outlines that NASA has produced a detailed report for forests in more than 75 tropical countries globally which is the first detailed study of its kind.
"Previous studies have estimated the carbon stored in forests on local and large scales within a single continent, but there existed no systematic way of looking at all tropical forests. To measure the size of the trees, scientists typically use a ground-based technique, which gives a good estimate of how much carbon they contain. But this technique is limited because the structure of the forest is extremely variable and the number of ground sites is very limited. "
