Carbon Trends and Management

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS


The Carbon Trends and Management theme focuses on the use of cutting-edge science, both in the field and using pre-existing public databases, to help partners consider carbon management in their work. Evidence-based ecosystem carbon management can support many goals, including climate adaptation, flood and fire mitigation, and the provisioning of ecosystem services.
