Uncertainty Assessment In Biomass Estimation, Isaac Lisle

Isaac Lisle

Carbon stock is the carbon stored in one of the major phases of the carbon cycle, and flux is the movement of carbon between these phases. This study will use a similar model to one previously developed by Gonzalez et al. (2015) to estimate carbon stock and flux in the aboveground living biomass of the State of California and evaluate the uncertainty associated with these estimations. It is important to understand the methods involved in calculating carbon stock and the accompanying uncertainty to determine the best uses for mapping products of forest biomass in California, which is directed by California …
