CarboScen Tutorial: Uncertainty (Part 8 of 8)

CarboScen is a relatively simple bookkeeping tool to estimate the carbon implications of land-use scenarios, developed by scientists from the University of Helsinki and the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). In this video tutorial, the University of Helsinki’s Stella Thompson speaks with CarboScen’s lead researcher, Markku Larjavaara, about what happens if uncertainty is included in the tool, whether standard deviation or a ‘bootstrapping’ method should be used, and how this works in practice.
