Blue Carbon-based Natural Climate Solutions, Priority Maps for the U.S., 2006-2011

This dataset contains shapefiles showing location of tidal wetland parcels with the potential for net greenhouse gas removal if restored from current mapped condition to unimpeded tidal wetlands. These maps focus on managed lands in the contiguous United States along the ocean coasts and show impounded wetlands where reconnecting tidal flow could diminish methane production. The maps include current dominant wetland type, restoration category, potential removal of atmospheric greenhouse gases in units of mass carbon dioxide with estimates of uncertainty.

本数据集包含展示潮汐湿地地块位置的 Shapefile 文件，这些地块若从当前标注状态恢复至未受阻碍的潮汐湿地状态，具有净温室气体清除的潜力。地图主要聚焦于美国大陆沿海地区的管理土地，显示了封闭的湿地区域，若重新连接潮汐流动，将有助于减少甲烷的产生。地图还包括了当前主导的湿地类型、恢复类别以及以质量单位计算的潜在大气温室气体清除量，并附有不确定性估计。
