CarbEF: A software for reporting carbon emissions from deforestation and degradation Verhegghen A., Combal B., Eva H. (JRC) with the contribution of Bodart C. (JRC) and Arquero A. (FAO)

CarbEF – An indirect approach to quantify degradation A single tool to calculate areas and CO2 emissions Compliant with the IPPC guidelines of forest definition Users have the control on the choice of the input data (tree cover loss map, biomass, forest definition) Mandatory inputs: map of tree cover loss and estimates of carbon stock Computation uses a grid to allow comparison in time Production of reports (html, excel) with the estimations Open source

Forest definition FAO, UNFCCC: based on three criteria Minimum forest area, Minimum tree height, Tree cover density Each country has its own parameters Superficie (ha) Hauteur arbres (m) Densité du couvert (%) Republique of Congo 0.5 3 30 Cameroon 5 10 Tanzania

Forest degradation Forest degradation occurs when changes happens in terms of tree cover or tree height, but the area is still considered as a forest T1 T2 T3 3 m T1 T2 T3 Minimum Area (ha) 0.5 Tree Height (m) 10 7 5 Tree cover (%) 100 70 40 CO 2 emissions ?

to a non tree cover (NTC) class at time T1 CarbEF input: A Tree cover loss map Map of tree cover loss indicating pixels passing from a tree cover (TC) class at time T0 to a non tree cover (NTC) class at time T1 T0 Forest no change TC TC - TC Non-forest no change NTC NTC - NTC

to a non tree cover (NTC) class at time T1 CarbEF input: A Tree cover loss map Map of tree cover loss indicating pixels passing from a tree cover (TC) class at time T0 to a non tree cover (NTC) class at time T1 T0 T0-T1 Forest no change TC - TC TC Non-forest no change NTC NTC - NTC Loss of forest TC - NTC

Grid of Minimum Forest Unit CarbEF analyzes the tree cover loss map inside a grid of Minimum Forest Unit (MFU) The MFU size ~ minimum area of the forest definition MFU classified according to the tree cover threshold

Area and emissions estimations Emission factor applied to any MFU classified as Deforestation Forest Degradation Different options to report the areas of forest changes and the associated CO 2 emissions

CarbEF in IMPACTools

Inputs CarbEF Outputs or Value Minimum Forest Unit size Crown cover threshold Inputs or Value Tree cover loss map 1 band – change over 2 periods 2. Forest definition thresholds 3. Carbon stock image or constant value (Optional) Exclusion map (Optional) land use Shapefile + starting and ending years of the 2 periods + proportion for forest degradation CarbEF Output Filename Report language Forest change classes map 1 band Class of the MFU Outputs HTML and Excel reports Areas of forest changes and associated CO2 emissions

CarbEF in Impact Tool - Inputs Tree cover loss map Name Parameters of the forest definition Period of work Map or value of Carbon stock Landuse shapefile Map of exceptions

Each forest unit is classified Example with a tree cover loss map based on Landsat Input map: pixel width 30 m => area of 0.09 ha Output map: pixel width 90 m => area of 0.81 h 2 periods

CarbEF in Impact Tool - Outputs A forest change map at the MFU resolution (here 0.81 ha)
