To provide the global carbon stock in potential natural vegetation.
Land used for agricultural production presents a tradeoff to society. On one hand, agricultural lands provide essential food, feed, fiber, and increasingly, biofuels. On the other hand, in their natural state, these lands could provide additional important ecosystem services
Data contains tons of carbon stored per hectare of land.
The carbon stock estimates were calculated by the IPCC Tier 1 methodology to potential vegetation and soil datasets using a committed carbon flux approach.
