The carbon balance of NSW forests project is part of the NSW Forest Monitoring and Improvement Program. The Mullion Group was engaged to develop a spatial time-series dataset of forest carbon history for the state of NSW at ~25 m resolution. The project used FLINTpro software to integrate historical environmental and land management data to model carbon stock and fluxes. This dataset details the annual total forest carbon stock which is the sum of aboveground, belowground and dead organic matter carbon stocks. Aboveground biomass refers to the amount of carbon stored within aboveground forest components (pools) which includes leaves, branches, bark and stems. Belowground biomass refers to the amount of carbon stored within belowground forest components (pools) which includes coarse and fine roots. Dead organic matter refers to the amount of carbon stored within dead forest components (pools) which includes leaf litter, branch litter, bark litter, stem litter, and dead roots. Harvested wood products in use refers to the amount of carbon stored in wood products (excluding wood products in landfill). Harvested wood products in use are included in carbon stock and flux results, but excluded from spatial outputs. Carbon stored within soil is not included within any of these datasets. This dataset supersedes NSW Forest Carbon Stock - Aboveground, Belowground and Dead Organic Matter Carbon Mass 1990-2020
