Valuing Carbon Sequestration in Natural Landscapes

Ongoing Efforts and Future Opportunities

California’s chaparral ecosystems have been largely excluded from carbon sequestration evaluations and planning due to lack of understanding about carbon dynamics in these systems. However, chaparral is the most extensive vegetation type in the state with potential for above- and below-ground carbon storage.
