Maps were generated from forest cover maps of varying specificity along with look-up tables of carbon storage values based on Smith et al. (2006) and IPCC (2006) tables, and stand age data based on Pan et al. (2012). Models A and B were the most accurate when compared to field validation plots, but still contained substantial error. If Model D, based on the IPCC (2006) carbon storage tables is used, the D-high model is the most accurate. These data are most suitable for assessing regional-scale carbon storage, and should not be used to assess carbon storage at a local scale.
