Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia Forest Carbon Calculator (NSFCC): Overview, Methodology, and Application
James W. N. Steenberg and Rob N. O’Keefe, NS Natural Resources and Renewables Forestry Tech Report 2024-001 March 2024
“Abstract: Forests and forestry can contribute to climate change mitigation through the removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) by forest vegetation and long-term storage in forest ecosystems and harvested wood products. Woodland owners,
researchers and educators, Indigenous communities, industry, and the general publicalike require information and decisionsupport tools to assist in integrating carbon into their approaches to forest management/land stewardship. The purpose of this researchreport is to describe a forest carbon web application called the Nova Scotia Forest Carbon Calculator (NSFCC; https://ns-resource-analysis.shinyapps.io/nsfcc/) that was developed in response to these needs…”
