How is the CBM-CFS3 maintained, updated, and developed?
The carbon accounting team at the Canadian Forest Service is mandated to maintain, update and continue to develop the CBM-CFS3 software. It is connected to the international science community to ensure that the science of forest carbon accounting is kept up to date in the model, and is connected to the international policy community to ensure that the model continues to meet international forest carbon reporting requirements. As well, the carbon accounting team is connected to the international forestry community – those using the CBM-CFS3 – and continues to refine and develop the model to meet their needs.
