Thanks Axel, looks good to me! I wonder if there's a little description of this variable available in the dataset that you can use as a comment here? For example, does this only include vegetation or any living beings?

@axel-lauer Any input on the point raised by Manuel so we can merge the PR for the 2.13 release?

Good point! According to the data description, above-ground biomass is defined as the "amount of living biomass (organic matter) stored in vegetation above the soil including stem, stump, branches, bark, seeds and foliage, expressed as dry weight". I added this as a comment to the custom CMOR table: 65693e7
