1. Brief description

The Quantification of Environmental Services for Carbon (QUES-C) module calculate the amount of green-house gas emission from land use/cover change using stock difference approach. The stock difference approach estimates GHG emissions or removals from land-use change by calculating the change in carbon stocks over time. This involves comparing the carbon stored in different land-use types at two points in time, using Activity Data that quantifies the extent of land-use change, and Emission Factors that represent the carbon stock changes associated with each land-use transition. By multiplying the Activity Data with the corresponding Emission Factors, we can determine the net GHG emissions or removals resulting from land-use change within a given area and time period.
