  1. Jane Goodall Masito Ugalla Project: Accounting for aboveground and belowground biomass based on mean carbon stocks as measured in the Ground Forest Carbon assessment of the Masito Ugalla Ecosystem Pilot area [15]; TFCG Mjumita – Kilosa: Long-term average aboveground carbon stocks based on mean carbon stocks from 17 forest plots randomly distributed across the project area, derived by the project staff from local field surveys. Belowground carbon stocks are based on IPCC default root-to-shoot ratio for dry tropical forest [8]; TFCG Mjumita – Lindi: The mean carbon stocks are based on the average aboveground and belowground carbon stock from derived from local field surveys by TFCG Mjumita project staff. Belowground carbon stocks are based on IPCC default root-to-shoot ratio for dry tropical forest [8].
