Geospatial Analysis of Carbon Offset Projects - A Broader Scientific Outlook

“Geospatial analysis is at the core of [the H/T’s company’s] project quality assessments, and [the author is] constantly finding ways to make the pipeline better and ways to use it. [They are] obviously not the only one who uses these types of tools, but to be perfectly honest, the quality of models [they have] seen over the years has been all over the place.
This blog makes a casual introduction to [their] pipeline while talking about the field at large…”

“The world has committed to protecting and restoring nature at an unprecedented scale. Whether that commitment delivers what it promises comes down project execution on the ground. Local socioeconomics and forest ecology intertwine to create complex challenges for projects to overcome during implementation, and at the end of the day, projects boil all of these complexities down to one single unit: the carbon credit. So the question becomes: can we actually measure what is happening to a forest, accurately and honestly, and everywhere at once?
For a long time, the honest answer has been no. Historically, many forest carbon projects overstated their impact. Usually it was because the baseline was too generous, or because the measurements underneath were flawed. For anyone with a stake in nature markets, that uncertainty is one of the core risks.
Robust geospatial analysis can help mitigate that risk. If you treat a carbon credit as what it really is, a scientific claim, then we can hold it to that standard and assess it objectively. [Their] geospatial pipeline turns satellite data and ground truth data into models about how much forest is standing, how it is changing, and what might put it at risk in the future. The pipeline does this anywhere on Earth…”

Wild Pigs Undermine Invasive Flora, While Native Deer Bolster It
New research shows wild pigs help reduce invasive plants, while native deer help invasive plants grow more. This changes how we see these animals in forests.

Wild pigs are surprisingly helping to reduce invasive plants in forests, while native deer are making the problem worse. This is the opposite of what scientists expected.

Five years of satellite monitoring of forests in Germany found that trees that had been attacked by the gypsy moth delayed leaf production the following year, starving the emerging moth larvae and halving the subsequent leaf damage.

The latest research results on stomatal dynamics from our PhD candidate (and quite proud of it :-) : the shade tolerant Fagus sylvatica , the common beech, shows more reactive stomatal responses on shade leaves than on sun leaves, suggesting an optimisation to increase CO2 uptake. The differences in stomatal dynamics were not related, as usually assumed, to differences in stomatal morphology.
