Ecoregion Data and Carbon Storage

The video demonstrates the LandCarbon Viewer, a tool developed by the USGS and UC Berkeley to assess carbon storage and fluxes in U.S. ecosystems. It covers exploring ecoregions, analyzing ecosystem types, and projecting changes under different IPCC scenarios. The video also explains how to access and download relevant datasets, providing insights into carbon data and national assessments.

What is the primary goal of the LandCarbon Project?

• To map the entire United States
