In a study published in the journal Nature, a team of researchers affiliated with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI), the University of Maryland, NASA and the Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, Brazil, analyzed 16 million 2020 NASA-GEDI satellite estimates of biomass from forests in the Amazon, the Congo Basin and Southeast Asia.","category":"Science","image":null,"lang":"en","publishedAt":"2026-08-13T16:20:12+00:00","createdAt":"2026-08-13T16:30:13.646491+00:00"}}
