Scholarly Works - Datasets

Data from: Assessing the effects of management activities on biodiversity and carbon storage on public and private lands and waters in the United States

Dataset · April 6, 2023 Natural and working lands (NWLs) provide many benefits to people, including storing greenhouse gases (GHGs), supporting biodiversity, and other ecosystem services. Management of NWLs can influence their condition and function and therefore the benefits the ... Full text Cite

Data from: Blue carbon mapping for six mid-Atlantic states

Dataset · June 22, 2022 Coastal habitats’ ability to store carbon makes them valuable assets in state and community efforts to support climate mitigation, but sea level rise (SLR) poses a major threat to these habitats and the carbon they store. The Nicholas Institute collaborate ... Full text Cite

Data and scripts from: Sea level rise drives carbon and habitat loss in the U.S. mid-Atlantic coastal zone

Dataset · May 31, 2022 Coastal marshes and seagrass beds store millions of tons of carbon in their sediments and sequester carbon at higher per-area rates than most terrestrial ecosystems. There is substantial interest in this “blue carbon” as a carbon mitigation strategy, despi ... Full text Cite

Pocosin wetland status and owner type for North Carolina

Dataset · June 30, 2021 Pocosins are a unique wetland type in the North Carolina coastal plain that provide valuable wildlife habitat and store large amounts of carbon in their peat soils. Many pocosins in North Carolina have been altered by drainage, land clearing, or plantation ... Full text Cite

Data from: Coastal protection and blue carbon mapping for six mid-Atlantic states

Dataset · December 3, 2020 Coastal habitats’ ability to store carbon and protect natural and human communities from hazards makes them valuable assets in state and community efforts to enhance coastal resilience and support climate mitigation. The Nicholas Institute collaborated wit ... Full text Cite

Data from: Opportunity assessment for carbon and resilience benefits on natural and working lands in North Carolina

Dataset · March 24, 2020 These datasets show the biophysical extent of reforestation, restoration, and conservation opportunities for on-the-ground management actions for natural and working lands that sequester/store carbon and support habitat and community resilience in North Ca ... Full text Cite
