Greenhouse gases

The greenhouse gas monitoring feature is now accessible within the application, providing our users with the capability to estimate emissions and removals of tCO2/ha within their monitored forest area.

Additionally - all the layers are shown on map for easy visual inspection.

Mangroves

Based on the Global Mangrove Watch dataset, we have introduced a new capability that allows you to monitor the extent of mangroves within your project area.

The mangrove map layer allows you to visualize changes in extent over time.

• Total profile soil moisture (0cm to bedrock depth)

Water quality indicators

We’ve also added a set of indicators for monitoring water quality:

• Flood risk areas
• Drought risk areas
• Water quality
• Sea level salinity
• Sea surface temperature

Land use category changes

The land use categories indicator was updated with a layer allowing to view land cover changes over time.
