DESCRIPTION
SPECIFIC GOALS 3 USDA CarbonScapes CESU # PROVIDE A USEFUL AND EASY TO NAVIGATE WEB MAP APPLICATION TO EDUCATE AND ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT USDA INVENTORY, MODELING, AND MAPPING OF TERRESTRIAL BIOSPHERE CARBON ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE. ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE: 1. HOW MANY MILLION METRIC TONS (MMT) OF SOIL CARBON OR CO2-EQUIVALENTS ARE IN THE UPPER METER OF SOIL IN YOUR HOME COUNTY? 2. WHAT IS THE CO2-EQUIVALENT PER HECTARE OR PER ACRE FOR THE C STOCK IN THE UPPER METER OF SOIL IN YOUR HOME WATERSHED (8- DIGIT OR 12-DIGIT HUC)? 3.HOW MANY MMT OF SOIL CARBON ARE IN THE UPPER METER OF SOIL IN YOUR FAVORITE MAJOR LAND RESOURCE AREA (MLRA)? 4.HOW MANY ACRES OF FOREST WOULD IT TAKE IN ONE YEAR TO SEQUESTER THE MASS OF C IN THE UPPER METER OF SOIL IN MLRA 103 (DES MOINES LOBE)?
