The identifiers correspond to those in Figure 2. Size of study areas (SSA), project sites (SPS), forest cover in the study area (FSA), and forest cover in the project sites (FPS) are in thousands of hectares (×1000 ha). The sizes of the forest areas are for the year in the last column. The mean aboveground carbon density for the forest at the project site (ACDPS) is in Mg.ha−1 and was computed for the year 2010.
