Hi!
I’m running the Forest Carbon Edge Effect model, and when I exclude edge effects, all the data aligns correctly with the Carbon Storage layer and with my manual carbon stock calculations. However, when I include edge effects, the forest carbon values increase significantly—well beyond the expected maximum—which seems counterintuitive.
The model outputs suggest that edge effects increase carbon stock compared to the Carbon Storage baseline, whereas I understand they should reduce it. In fact, the carbon value at the forest edge alone is higher than the maximum possible stock.
Has anyone else experienced similar results?
