Description
As part of a report prepared for the department, CSIRO created 5 map products in GeoTIFF GIS format to assess the approximate emissions implications of proposed land management activities.
They were generated from the Full Carbon Accounting Model (FullCAM), which was used to estimate per-hectare land clearing emissions across the entire NT, at a spatial resolution of 250 m x 250 m.
Average expected outcome was calculated over a 40-year period (12-1977 to 12-2017) to include variability associated with historical fire.
Total emissions resulting from land clearing (in units CO2-e) are calculated as the sum of the four ecosystem components (above- and below-ground living biomass, above-ground debris, and above-ground standing dead).

Data Quality
Lineage:To generate the mapped products, the FullCAM model was used to estimate per-hectare land clearing emissions across the entire NT, at a spatial resolution of 250 m x 250 m.
Predicted emissions in response to land clearing events were calculated as the sum of the four carbon pools assumed to return to the atmosphere as a result of clearing: aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, aboveground debris, aboveground standing dead. To provide a generalised emissions estimate, the average expected outcome was calculated over a 40-year period to include variability associated with historical fire. The assumption was made that tree growth was experiencing average environmental conditions.
The model created by CSIRO referred to land clearing datasets in the NT for the years 2003-2020 - Pastoral land, >300 ha clearing area; and Unzoned land, >50 ha clearing area.
