Total Carbon Pie Chart
The “Total Carbon” pie chart displays each individual input group’s total CO2 load in relation to all of the other input groups in the entire project. This is your whole project's CO2 load view. Each color on the pie chart matches the color of the input group. Click on the pie chart from the Calculator screen, and you will see the details of the pie chart. From here, you can hover over a section of the pie chart to see the name and total pounds of carbon of the subgroup. You can also hover over pie charts on the Summary screen.

Annual Sequestration Pie Chart
Plants sequester CO2 throughout their life cycle. This pie chart displays the annual sequestration in total pounds of CO2 in each plant category.

Initial Sequestration Pie Chart
When we apply mulches and compost, a portion becomes stored carbon in the soil, so we track it separately as a one-time sequestration.
​

*Note: Northern California studies have shown that a one-time application of compost on rangeland can continue to sequester carbon at an increasing rate each year. We are working with that data to better understand how it applies to the calculator and will update the app when appropriate.
