Two maps are provided from a study of the aboveground carbon stocks of the Peruvian Andes and Amazon basin. The maps are based on airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) data, combined with satellite-based maps of forest cover and properties, acquired in 2012. The resulting maps are: (1) aboveground carbon density or ACD, and (2) uncertainty in ACD. Units for ACD are Mg C per hectare. Maps are provided at 1.0 ha spatial resolution. Use of these data require citation of this dataset and the original journal paper that delivered the mapping method. These citations are as follows: Asner, G.P., D.E. Knapp, R.E. Martin, R.
