Description
Scion’s spatial projection of the carbon productivity of radiata pine (Pinus radiata) at age 30 for stands at the upper end of the stocking range for a structural grade regime (650 stems/ha). The displayed surface has a 25 m resolution. Total carbon productivity, which includes the below ground component, is displayed in CO2 equivalents with units of tonnes CO2/ha.
Predictions of carbon were made using a stand level carbon model (Forest Carbon Predictor Version 5.1) and C_Change which is a model that determines allocation of carbon to different biomass components. These predictions were then spatially scaled using air temperature and geospatial productivity surfaces (300 Index, Site Index).
The displayed spatial projection masked large lakes and a forest located in the central North Island.
