forest carbon potential and risks

Note: This project is under active development. We expect to make many breaking changes to the utilities and APIs included in this repository. Feel free to look around, but use at your own risk.

This repository includes our libraries and scripts for mapping forest carbon potential and risks.

install

pip install carbonplan[forests]

usage

This codebase is organized into modules that implement data loading and model fitting as well as utitlies for plotting and other common tasks. Most anlayses involve some combination of the load and fit modules.

There are four scripts in the scripts folder that use these tools to import data, run models, and parse results.

• biomass.py
• fire.py
• drought.py
• insects.py

And there are two additional scripts regrid.py and convert.py for converting the results to zarr files for storage and geojson for visualization purposes.

Several notebooks are additionally provided that show the use of these tools for fitting models and inspecting model outputs. Notebooks are organized by the model type, e.g. biomass, fire, etc.
