Methodology:
Scientific literature shows a wide range of information on carbon stocks and carbon sequestration rates, both qualitative and quantitative. It, however, also shows a very wide range of methods applied. For example, studies have focus on different ecosystem components and carbon storage ecosystems, different demarcation of ecosystem components, carbon storage or ecosystem productivity (GPP, NPP, NEP), different time scales, or report measured or modelled data. These methodological differences influence the range of the carbon storage and sequestration rates reported and complicate mutual comparison. In our study we mainly used expert assessment for the comparison. A more elaborated scientific basis was beyond the scope of this study, but is recommended for further studies.
Units:
The carbon storage rates are expressed in mass per area. That is Megagramme carbon per hectare
