Abstract

We are developing an online computer program to provide forest carbon related estimates for the conterminous United States (COLE). Version 1.0 of the program features carbon estimates based on data from the USDA Forest Service Eastwide Forest Inventory database. The program allows the user to designate an area of interest, and currently provides area, growing-stock volume, and carbon pool estimates for states east of the Great Plains. The COLE program can be accessed at http://ncasi.uml.edu.
