<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This data layer provides baseline estimates and future projections of carbon by forest. Baseline carbon estimates for 2020 were derived by the FIA carbon team based on the most recent inventories for each state. Projections based on the baseline estimates were developed by the Resources Planning Act (https://www.fs.usda.gov/research/inventory/rpaa) team where forest area and total carbon estimates were provided for the year 2070, RCP 4.5, SSP1 (for information on RPA models and future scenarios see Langner et al. 2020: https://doi.org/10.2737/RMRS-GTR-412). Projections include the effects of land use change, climate, socioeconomics, timber harvest, fire, other disturbance, and forest growth. Counties were clipped to National Forest boundaries for display purposes. Scenario = RCP4.5-SSP1 combination (low warming, moderate growth), mean/min/max of 5 climate models used in RPA Assessment; another three RCP-SSP combinations are available from the information source. This uses the following five climate models: Least Warm-MRI-CGCM3; Hot-HadGEM2-ES; Dry-IPSL-CM5A-MR; Wet-CNRM-CM5; Middle-NorESM1-M (https://www.fs.usda.gov/research/treesearch/60113) Learn more at: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. 2023.
