Description of the IPCC carbon pools and general tiers to estimate changes in carbon stocks in biomass in a land cover category, taken from [12].

The study area is the Eastern Arc watershed in Tanzania [29].

The spatial distribution of aboveground live carbon storage and associated pixel errors within the study area, based on combining the harmonised land cover map with our regionally appropriate carbon values (Table 3).
Maps derived from the original land cover categories are shown in Figure S1.
