Petrokofsky et al. Environmental Evidence 2012, 1:6 /content/1/1/6 SYSTEMATIC REVIEW PROTOCOL Open Access Comparison of methods for measuring and assessing carbon stocks and carbon stock changes in terrestrial carbon pools. How do the accuracy and precision of current methods compare?

The choice of system to adopt should be guided by good science. There is a growing body of scientific and technical information on ground-based and remote sensing methods of carbon measurement. The adequacy and comparability of these different systems have not been fully evaluated. Methods: A systematic review will compare methods of assessing carbon stocks and carbon stock changes in key land use categories, including, forest land, cropland, grassland, and wetlands, in terrestrial carbon pools that can be accounted for under the Kyoto protocol (above- ground biomass, below-ground biomass, dead wood, litter and soil carbon). Assessing carbon in harvested wood products will not be considered in this review. Discussion: Developing effective mitigation strategies to reduce carbon emissions and equitable adaptation strategies to cope with increasing global tempe
