Where The Trees Are: The map was built from the National Biomass and Carbon Dataset (NBCD), released in 2011. It depicts the concentration of biomass—a measure of the amount of organic carbon—stored in the trunks, limbs, and leaves of trees. The darkest greens reveal the areas with the densest, tallest, and most robust forest growth. (via NASA Image of the Day)
Check definite lack of biomass that is Southern California. For my happiness I need to move to one of these greener areas in a manner that will not significantly diminish the health of said area.
