Abstract
In attempting to meet the aims of the 2015 Climate Action Plan to reduce countywide CO2 emissions by 40% over 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% by 2050, Multnomah County has sought to better understand the role county forest lands play in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, by conducting a forest carbon inventory and projection of carbon flux under a "business as usual" scenario for aboveground biomass. This report relies on two estimates for the 5 forest carbon pools recognized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), these include estimates published as part of the Oregon Forest Ecosystem Carbon Inventory (2001-2016) (Christensen et al. 2019) and a variety of more granular data sources to estimate baseline carbon storage across a greater diversity of policy-relevant land management and ownership categories. The report looks at management options as they apply to various forest carbon pools, potential carbon storage under various management regimes.
