Project Description
This activity will provide trustees with a decision support tool that will assess the impact of various restoration types and approaches on coastal wetland ecosystem health, as indicated by net ecosystem carbon balance (NECB). The decision support tool will provide spatially-explicit assessments of NECB for all coastal ecosystems in Louisiana, allowing trustees to see where the oil spill and restoration activities influence ecosystem health.
