A new, interactive, visual display of annual carbon stocks, net carbon stock flux, and carbon trends associated with Minnesota’s forests is now available through a partnership effort of the Minnesota Forest Resources Council (MFRC) and the University of Minnesota Forest Resources Department.  

The Minnesota Forest Carbon Dashboard uses data from the U.S. Forest Service’s Forest Inventory and Analysis Program which annually estimates carbon within five widely recognized carbon pools associated with Minnesota’s forests.  The dashboard also presents trends associated with land converted to forest (i.e. reforestation) and offers users the opportunity to compare carbon data and trends by forest land ownership, forest types, and by landscape regions.
