Welcome to the Final INVENT Zoom Webinar

Improving National forest inventory-based carbon stock change estimates for greenhouse gas inVENTories (INVENT) project will have a final zoom webinar December 3, 2020, 09:00-17:00 (GMT +1). INVENT partners, stakeholders, and those interested in the project, are all invited to attend the webinar, which will consist of nine 20-minute presentations with 10 minutes for questions and answers following each presentation. Ingeborg Callesen (University of Copenhagen) will then host a one-hour mini-workshop at the end of the first day.

Please register your information under the “Registration form” tab if you are interested in attending the webinar by Wednesday 02/12/2020 23:59.

The webinar program can be found under the “Program” tab.

 

INVENT project description:

Forest land in Europe annually sequesters atmospheric carbon comparable to the emissions from the agricultural or industrial process sectors. Despite its importance, the full potential of carbon sequestration on forest land in climate change mitigation strategies is not utilized. In large part, this is due to the high uncertainty of carbon stock change estimates of living biomass and forest mineral soil using current national-level methods. New estimation methods, which increase the spatial resolution of estimates by incorporating existing auxiliary data sources, are required to further mobilize the mitigation potential of forest land in Europe. INVENT will use national forest inventory, spatially-explicit remote sensing, and local forest harvest data to increase the precision and spatial resolution of living biomass estimates. INVENT will use forest and soil inventory data, spatially-explicit remote sensing data, and modeling procedures to increase the accuracy and spatial resolution of forest mineral soil carbon stock change estimates. INVENT will apply the developed methods to quantify the effects of forest mitigation measures at the national and sub-national scales. The derived methods and their application will be demonstrated in national greenhouse gas inventories and in case-studies that strengthen the trans-national exchange of knowledge within the consortium countries of Denmark, Latvia, Norway, and Sweden. The results will demonstrate the general applicability of the derived methods to reduce the uncertainty in living biomass and forest mineral soil carbon estimates in greenhouse gas reporting on forest land.
