This is the file used to create Figure 4a of the paper:

Crezee et al. (2022). Nature Geoscience. Mapping peat thickness and carbon stocks of the central Congo Basin using field data. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a raster file representing modelled peat carbon density (in Mg C per ha)
across the central Congo Basin peatland complex. 

For each pixel, the median value of 2,000 carbon density estimates is provided. The 
2,000 carbon density estimates were obtained by multiplying 100 Random Forest peat thickness 
estimates with 20 bootstrapped peat thickness-carbon density regressions (ED Fig. 7), which
were normally distributed arond the best-fitting peat thickness-carbon density regression.

The peat thickness-carbon density regression is based on 80 peat cores sampled in the field.
