This research mainly focuses on how to quantify and allocate carbon debt caused by forest harvest in the Southeastern United States. A Hierarchical Hybrid Compatible Model (HHCM) is developed to estimate the carbon debt and emission related to forest harvest and production of forest products.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the spatiotemporal distribution patterns of carbon debts in the southeastern United States.
Upon completion, participants will be able to know how to estimate and calculate the carbon debts and allocate carbon debts to different forest products, and how to quantify the carbon offset of using displacement environmentally friendly products.
