<p><span>Representation
of forest types, total carbon storage, and annual sequestration value across the
Greater Toronto Area (GTA; including the City of Toronto and the entireties of
York, Peel, Durham, and Halton Regions). Data was sourced from the Ontario
Ministry of Natural Resource’s Wooded Area layer (2019), Wetlands layer (2024), and Ecological
Land Classification (ELC) (2024) from Toronto and Region Conservation Authority,
Conservation Halton, Credit Valley Conservation, Lake Simcoe Region
Conservation Authority, Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, and
Kawartha Conservation. Forest was defined using the Wooded Area layer to be
areas with greater than 60% canopy cover and trees taller than 2 metres.</span></p>
<p><span>Total
carbon storage and annual sequestration value across the study area was
quantified using average storage and sequestration rates assigned to each
forest feature. Rates were based on insights from TRCA’s ongoing research and
literature review on land-cover-based values in southern Ontario in the</span><span> </span><span>Natural
Asset Carbon Assessment Guide and Toolbox (NACAGT). An economic value was also estimated
for forest carbon stocks and sequestration in the GTA.</span></p><p>This version has been generalized and optimized for web map purposes.</p> |
