Spend some time with InVEST's Carbon Edge Effect model this #TrainingTuesday 🌲🌾

This model creates carbon maps from a combination of carbon inventory data and known relationships between carbon storage and distance from a forest edge: stanford.io/4aa8u24

Green-crowned hummingbird, Heliodoxa jacula, hovers next to orange flowers with NatCap's 20th anniversary logo in the bottom left corner. Bellow text reads: InVEST ® Crop Pollination. This model focuses on wild pollinators providing an ecosystem service.

This #TrainingTuesday, explore NatCap InVEST's Crop Pollination Model 🐦🌾

This model uses info on wild pollinators and local plant life to calculate the abundance of wild pollinators and their value to agriculture: stanford.io/45s3seh
