  abstract = {{S}everal upcoming satellite missions have core science requirements to produce data for accurate forest aboveground biomass mapping. {L}argely because of these mission datasets, the number of available biomass products is expected to greatly increase over the coming decade. {D}espite the recognized importance of biomass mapping for a wide range of science, policy and management applications, there remains no community accepted standard for satellite-based biomass map validation. {T}he {C}ommittee on {E}arth {O}bserving {S}atellites ({CEOS}) is developing a protocol to fill this need in advance of the next generation of biomass-relevant satellites, and this paper presents a review of biomass validation practices from a {CEOS} perspective. {W}e outline the wide range of anticipated user requirements for product accuracy assessment and provide recommendations for the validation of biomass products. {T}hese recommendations include the collection of new, high-quality in situ data and the use of airborne lidar biomass maps as tools toward transparent multi-resolution validation. {A}doption of community-vetted validation standards and practices will facilitate the uptake of the next generation of biomass products.},
