| Abstract: | Background The voluntary carbon market is a new and growing market that is increasingly important to consider in managing forestland.
Monitoring, reporting, and verifying carbon stocks and fluxes at a project level is the single largest direct cost of a forest
carbon offset project. There are now many methods for estimating forest stocks with high accuracy that use both Airborne Laser
Scanning (ALS) and high-resolution optical remote sensing data. However, many of these methods are not appropriate for use
under existing carbon offset standards and most have not been field tested. |
