Step 3: Determination of Tree Weight of Carbon

The average carbon content is generally 50% of the tree’s dry weight total volume. Therefore:

• Wcarbon=Wdry weight*0.50

Wdry weight = Dry weight of the tree

W carbon = Weight of carbon in the tree

W carbon = [] *0.5= [] pounds/tree

W carbon = [] * 0.4535923 = [] kg/tree

W carbon = [] /20years= [] kg/tree/year
