This calculator estimates above-ground carbon storage in Kahikatea trees in Hamilton, NZ.
Method:
- Convert circumference to diameter
- Estimate volume as a cylinder
- Biomass = volume × 400 kg/m³
- Carbon = 50% of biomass
- CO₂ = Carbon × 3.67
Stand Estimate:
- Averages CO₂ stored per tree from table
- Multiplies that average by the number of trees entered
