Hello, I am wanting to use the InVEST tool to do a comparative analysis between the IPCC carbon pool estimations and on site field data for wetlands. However, the only local wetlands available for study are relatively small ( 3 sites roughly 500x700ft according to LULC raster) and I am worried that they will not be an ample enough sample size for the t/ha requirement for comparison to the IPCC data as well as needs for the InVEST input.
Also wondering about use of the 4 carbon pools for wetlands and if anyone has explored this yet? IPCC document says you can make sub classes for rivers within wooded areas to better define a ‘wetland’ in the context I need, as these are small wooded wet areas and not peat or human flooded zones.
Thank you!
