Continental U.S. risk-scaled carbon value map. Map of the continental U.S. showing average relative carbon value, <a onClick="popup('http://www.cbmjournal.com/content/4/1/1/mathml/M2','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.cbmjournal.com/content/4/1/1/mathml/M2">View MathML</a>, by forest type. Multiplying the average relative carbon value on the map by the market value of carbon determines the risk scaled value of the forest carbon for a given forest type. For example, a value of 0.4 equates to a risk scaled value equal to 40% of the market value.
