Calculating Carbon for Conservation using InVEST

In this tutorial, Ontario Nature’s Graeme Smith shows how to use InVEST to calculate carbon in an area of conservation interest and create a carbon stock map in ArcGIS Pro with this data. Developed by Stanford University as part of their Natural Capital Project, InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) is a suite of models used to map and valuate ecosystem services, including carbon storage.

Software used in this video: ArcGIS Pro (version 3.0.0), InVEST 3.12.0 Workbench, Microsoft Excel

Thank you stand ford university, This video is gonna be a big asset for me!

What is equation of economic valuation of seagrass?

[prisharma-rcfw]

Thanks for the video. But what about the values for dead carbon? Any sources on global level?

[wooow_]

Is this also possible in QGIS software instead of arcgis? thank you

[anranqin]

If my study area is not Canada, how do I find its soil carbon density dataset?

[tekenabenibo]

Thank you for the video its very helpful, but I wanted to find out how to get the Future LULC data, that is indicated in the InVEST model interphase. or how can it be acquired for an area of interest, thank you

Thanks very much for this video. Please can you share the Black Bay Peninsula Managed Area shapefile?

If the original raster is scaled by 0.1 then to change it to its original size shouldn't we have to multiply it by 10 rather than 0.1?

[miguelnaviap]

Just one question... Could I do the same thing that InVEST does with just ArcGIS?...

[asadaziz]

Hello Sir, Can you please confirm is LULC data is available for Pakistan along with carbon pools list? and is it possible on ARCmap-10.8.1?

[simateimourianmotlagh]

Could you tell me is there any specific symbology for carbon maps? And could you tell me if it is necessary to save the red area around the Peninsula in carbon map ?

[Ramilacookware]

Can you map any of your data like me?

[simateimourianmotlagh]

Could you tell me how I can download Black Bay Peninsula shape file?
