NSW Forest Carbon Stock Time Series at 25m Resolution, 1990-2021

New South Wales forests have annual carbon stock data modeled from 1990 to 2021 at approximately 25-meter resolution. The Mullion Group developed this spatial time-series dataset using FLINTpro software to integrate historical environmental and land management data. It details total forest carbon stock as the sum of aboveground, belowground, and dead organic matter carbon pools.

Use Cases

• Modeling forest carbon sequestration rates based on the annual time-series data from 1990-2021.
• Mapping spatial distribution of carbon stocks based on the 25-meter resolution geospatial outputs.
• Analyzing the impact of land management on carbon pools based on the integration of historical management data.
• Estimating carbon stored in harvested wood products based on the inclusion of that pool in the stock and flux results.

Strengths

• Covers a 32-year time range from 1990 to 2021.
• Provides data at a high spatial resolution of approximately 25 meters.
• Explicitly models three distinct carbon pools: aboveground, belowground, and dead organic matter.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing solely on New South Wales.
