Forest Carbon Stock Database

The Global Comparative Study on REDD+, established by CIFOR, supports a Forest Carbon Database andexchange system in the public domain. The database helps develop national and subnational monitoring, reportingand verification of REDD+ activities. The database is designed for an open access to allow participation ofresearchers and practitioners, who carry out regular forest inventory, manage permanent sample plots, and conductresearch on forest carbon stocks and related topics.

This system allows you to account for five carbon pools: aboveground tree biomass, belowground tree biomass, deadwoody debris, understorey/litter and soil. You can also add supporting information (details on your site, land cover,climate and soil) to build a profile of your carbon stock data. If you upload your entire inventory of data, the carbonstock in that ecosystem will be automatically calculated.
