Research Themes
Discover forest carbon ownership in the US, including its distribution among public, private, and tribal owners, the extent of carbon within protected areas, and practical applications of resulting datasets and maps.
With an increasing focus on the effects climate change and rise of nature-based solutions, people are looking to forests as part of the solution to climate change. A key part of that is understanding where forest carbon is and who owns it. In the presentation, Nicholas Tait, will discuss his research on forest carbon budgets and how ownership patterns impact forest carbon. Participants will learn about forest carbon budgets, how much carbon is protected, and how create similar maps.
