Hi - in order to supplement use of large (coarse) datasets, is there a way of inputting data obtained directly from filed data collection. For instance, I wish to set up an ES analysis for a small forest park c. 25 acres. I have collected soil samples (and obtained data for Total C, N, bulk density…

Hi @Minton71 - In general, it is fine to use either coarser datasets or field data in InVEST (or to mix coarse and fine data within a model run), as long as they are formatted correctly, have the correct units, etc, as described in the User Guide. As for combining coarser data with field data with…

Hi Stacie, thanks for your message and sorry I didn’t reply earlier. I have a related follow-up query that possibly doesn’t warrant a new topic. My particular focus of ES assessment is comparing alternative agriculture LULC to ‘conventional’ farming. I am hoping to create new LULC classifications …

Hi Richard - The Carbon Storage model also has a biophysical table, where you provide 4 carbon pool values for each land cover type. This model is entirely driven by the LULC and this mapping to carbon pools. It’s possible that the soil carbon pool might be most impacted by different agriculture pr…
