Abstract Recent advances in Foundation Models (FMs) are transforming AI, enabling remarkable generalization and zero-shot learning capabilities. The Helmholtz Foundation Model Initiative is developing the 3D Above and Below Ground Carbon Stocks foundation model (3D-ABC FM), a tool targeting the accurate mapping and quantification of terrestrial above- and below-ground carbon stocks in soils and vegetation at high spatial resolution. Understanding the global carbon budget with its carbon sources and sinks is crucial for guiding emission pathways and climate policies. The 3D-ABC FM aims to provide a seamless understanding of vegetation and soil carbon distribution by integrating multimodal datasets and addressing complex challenges such as multi-dimensionality and multi-resolution in FMs. 3D-ABC FM offers a transformative approach monitoring terrestrial carbon and advancing climate science.
