New Guide! "Harvesting Carbon:
Forests, Orchards, and Wooded Wetlands"

Carbon is a critical environmental resource and a key component of canopy growth, fruit quality and amount, sustained timber yield, soil fertility, and associated forestry, agricultural and natural management solutions and services. Economy-driven natural and agricultural management relies on using available resources efficiently.

But how can we measure carbon coming into and leaving an area well enough to be able to see 10-20% of realistic improvements and make sure that the management actually worked? Traditionally used approximated carbon estimates cannot tell the small differences between treatments or management systems, but direct methods can.

In direct methods, the real-time transport of gases, including CO₂, is actually measured with a device. It counts the number of gas molecules added to or removed from the air by the underlying surface in real time. Among such direct methods, eddy covariance is the most robust and accurate, used widely over the past 40 years at over 2,100 measurement locations around the globe.

A new guide, “Harvesting Carbon: Forests, Orchards, and Wooded Wetlands”, will help maximize the advantages of direct flux measurements, tailor-fit them to the specific location, and optimize costs and time required for equipment maintenance, data quality control and analysis.

This webinar will discuss how the guide can help create premium site-specific, management-specific natural, agricultural, and other man-made environmental solutions, prioritizing accuracy, reliability, and objectivity.
