What's inside
Fifteen equations, fully contextualised
Not a list of formulas, but a decision tool. Every equation carries the context needed to judge whether it fits your site, your species mix, and your reporting requirements.
Regional selection matrix
At a glance: which equation to reach for in Indonesia, West Africa, Central America, and beyond.
A deep-dive profile per equation
Formula, variables, location, system, method, sample size, size range, and model fit on a single reference page.
Structured Excel companion
All fifteen equations in a sortable, filterable workbook, with seventeen columns of metadata for your own screening.
Above- and below-ground
Guidance for AGB and BGB, including the pantropical fallbacks practitioners actually rely on for roots.
Written for MRV
Aimed at carbon and MRV work: REDD+, voluntary carbon markets, and supply-chain measurement.
Every source, one click away
A complete bibliography with resolvable DOIs and links: every equation traced back to the peer-reviewed publication it came from.
A look inside
Designed to be scanned, not deciphered
Calm, consistent, reference-grade layout, made with the same care we bring to a client deliverable.
Who it's for
For people who need the number to hold up
Carbon and MRV practitioners building cocoa biomass or carbon baselines.
Project developers and NGOs running REDD+ or voluntary-carbon cocoa work.
Carbon buyers and certification bodies reviewing methodology and equation choice.
Researchers who want a curated, source-traced starting point instead of a literature trawl.
