Carbon Inventory Overview

1 Datasets

1.1 National Landcover Database (NLCD)

Categorical raster image, 30m resolution \Longrightarrow 16 billion pixels!

1.2 Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US)

Database of polygons with metadata

1.3 National Biomass and Carbon Dataset (NBCD)

Estimate of biomass/carbon density (t/ha) modeled using canopy density and basal area-weighted height

2 Aggregation

2.1 Tabulate the raw statistics

Use GIS to get pixel counts for each permutation present
