Abstract/Summary:
Evaluation Tool) is designed to estimate the following for reforestation and afforestation projects: the expected carbon gains (live tree, standing dead tree, understory, down dead wood and forest floor) from the project activities; the present value of potential carbon revenue based on the expected carbon gains; the present value of the expected sampling costs attributable to measuring above ground carbon; the net present value of the potential carbon revenue and expected sampling costs. The Evaluation Tool is designed to provide first-order estimates of expected carbon revenue and expected carbon measurement costs that are unique to reforestation and afforestation based carbon sequestration projects
