Export citation

REDD Abacus SP is the short name for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Abatement Cost Curves and Simulator for Scenarios of Policies, a tool to estimate emissions from land-use and land-cover changes, which takes into account the dynamic heterogeneity of soil types, elevations, climate and other biophysical characteristics in a landscape. The tool can easily produce abatement cost curves and the resulting opportunity cost analysis of trade-offs between emission reduction and economic benefits
