EmailFCCP provided ideas and feedback on future revisions of the published USDA’s Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Fluxes in Agriculture and Forestry: Methods for Entity-Scale Inventory: Managed Forest Systems chapter at an expert workshop.
Washington, DC – Dr. Chad Papa, FCCP director, attended a USDA Workshops to Advance USDA Guidelines on Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Flux in Managed Forest Systems. This expert and stakeholder workshop collected ideas and feedback towards meeting growing public demand with federally convened standards, science, data, and tools.
Additionally, workshop participants learned about recent advances in innovative science delivery mechanisms and data streams currently being developed through support from the USDA Forest Service. The Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Fluxes in Agriculture and Forestry: Methods for Entity-Scale Inventory is USDA’s continued response to Section 2709 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2007, which directed USDA to “establish technical guidelines that outline science-based methods to measure, the environmental service benefits from conservation and land management activities in order to facilitate the participation of farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners in emerging environmental service markets”
FCCP is excited to continue this partnership to help enhance future efforts to improve the quantification of greenhouse gas fluxes in managed forest systems in support of greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. To learn more about the entity-scale guidelines please visit this USDA website.
