Soil Carbon Density (2m) (tC/ha) - Raster
The Regional Carbon Storage dataset provides estimates of carbon stored in vegetation and soils for the Metro Vancouver region. Carbon Soil is a 2m resolution raster and can be used to estimate the amount of carbon stored in soils for areas of interest. Rasters with information about biomass carbon (Carbon Biomass) and ecotypes (Carbon Ecotypes), along with carbon values summarized by property parcels (Carbon Parcel) are also available as part of the Regional Carbon Storage dataset.
CarbonSoil is a 2m resolution raster that provides estimates of carbon stored in soil (tonnes carbon per hectare, tC/ha). It can be used in conjunction with the other data layers available in the Regional Carbon Storage dataset (CarbonBiomass, CarbonEcotypes and CarbonParcel), to understand how much carbon is stored in an area, and to explore the potential carbon implications of development options.
The database was created using the following datasets:
Provincial Vegetation Resources Inventory (VRI), 2017
Metro Vancouver Sensitive Ecosystem Inventory (SEI), 2014
Metro Vancouver Land Cover Classification (LCC), 2014
UBC Sustainable Agricultural Landscapes Laboratory Delta agricultural soil organic carbon, 2016
And various LiDAR datasets (various dates)
See the report Improving Metro Vancouver Regional Carbon Storage Dataset for the procedures followed to create the data layers.
