Measuring Carbon in Vegetation: Video

Measuring Carbon in Vegetation: Video

In this video and its corresponding guide, WWF-Canada introduce’s a set of standardized field methods for determining the carbon stock of non-treed vegetation of different ecosystems throughout Canada, including shrublands, grasslands, tundra and wetlands. The information spans site selection, sampling design, protocols, and scaling from in-field measurements to broader carbon stock assessments. Please note that these guidelines are best suited to small projects (e.g., <50 hectares).
