description: Vulnerable C expressed as Tonnes of carbon/ha (for terrestrial ecosystems
  and mangroves) at a resolution of  1 arc-sec (~30 m). This analysis is based on
  vulnerable terrestrial and mangrove ecosystem carbon storage (aboveground, belowground,
  and soils), based on what carbon is likely to be released if the ecosystem were
  converted, by combining a variety of datasets, mapped by Noon et al. 2021, and building
  on the conceptual framework in Goldstein et al. (2020). For more information on
  this layer, including detailed methods, please see the lineage section of the accompanying
  metadata YAML file and/or visit the paper in the citation.
