Project C-Land aims to formulate a Guide for the Assessment and Maximisation of carbon sequestration and storage potential, designed by projections for the sustainability of carbon sinks in a pilot wetland area (Ria Formosa, Portugal). C-Land will be developed in direct cooperation with land management authorities and will explore long-term scenarios of change in carbon potential, due to landscape change initiated by mean sea level rise, human interventions, and restoration of degraded wetland areas, as well as other scenarios of interest to regional strategic planning. The proposed work will provide local managers with a tool for assessing carbon storage based on satellite imagery analysis and simplified modelling and will identify which priorities should be set for the strategic planning of landscape conservation and the sustainability of sequestered carbon in ecosystems.
