Carbon maps are essential for estimating historic, current, or future carbon emissions from land use, land use change and forestry–for scientific studies. A high‐resolution (50 m) Aboveground Carbon (AGC) map with Brazil national coverage was compiled by Oskar Englund - Chalmers University of Technology from available carbon maps and a detailed Land Use Land Cover map.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the main component of soil organic matter (SOM) and is a crucial contributor to food production, mitigation and adaption to climate change, and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SOC affects most of the processes relevant to soil functions and food production. A high SOM, and therefore SOC content provides plants with the nutrients and water they need by increasing soil fertility and water availability, which in turn improve food productivity. SOC has also long been used as an indicator of soil health, due to its capacity to improve soil structural stability, which affects porosity, aeration and water filtration capacities to supply clean water.

Net forest carbon flux represents the net exchange of carbon between forests and the atmosphere between 2001 and 2019, calculated as the balance between carbon emitted by forests and removed by (or sequestered by) forests during the model period (megagrams CO2 emissions/ha). Net carbon flux is calculated by subtracting average annual gross removals from average annual gross emissions in each modeled pixel; negative values are where forests were net sinks of carbon and positive values are where forests were net sources of carbon between 2001 and 2019.

Since 2004, Onda Verde begins forest restoration and conservation projects, by planting up to almost 2 million trees all over the Baixada Fluminense and the state of Rio de Janeiro.
