Variable General Info

Name variable.detail.varNameHelp ?	Carbon sequestration over total time period ? Comment: This file maps the difference in carbon stored between the future landscape and the current landscape – or the carbon that is sequestered during the entire given time period (i.e. this is a rate per the total time period elapsed, yr_fut – yr_cur, not per year). The values are in Mg per grid cell. In this map some values may be negative and some positive. Positive values indicate sequestered carbon, whereas negative values indicate carbon that was lost. Areas with large negative or positive values should have the biggest changes in LULC or harvest rates. Remember that carbon emissions due to management activities (tractors burning fuel, fertilizer additions, etc.) on a parcel are NOT included in this assessment. This response is optional and requires a future scenario.	Total carbon stock (current) ? Comment: This file shows the amount of carbon currently stored in Mg in each grid cell at the chosen resolution. This is a sum of all of the carbon pools you have included data for (above ground, below ground, soil, dead material, and harvested wood product).	Total carbon stock (future) ? Comment: This file shows the total amount of carbon that will be stored in each parcel under your future landscape scenario. It is a sum of all the carbon pools for which you have included data. This response is optional and requires a future scenario.	Value of sequestered carbon ? Comment: This file maps the economic value of carbon sequestered (between the current and the future landscape dates, yr_cur and yr_fut). The relative differences between parcels should be similar (but not identical) to sequest, but the values are in dollars per grid cell instead of Mg per grid cell. As with sequest, values may be negative, indicating the cost of carbon emissions from LULC changes to that parcel.
