This account shows information for Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) stocks and flows in New South Wales. These accounts form part of the Natural Capital Markets and Accounts branch Soil Ecosystem Services theme, which currently includes a Soil Organic Carbon physical stock account (SOC storage), and a Soil Organic Carbon physical flow account (SOC sequestration). These accounts are intended to help policy makers identify where to implement programs to maintain stocks of soil organic carbon and to increase carbon sequestration, as part of the NSW NetZero plan. As well as accounts for physical stocks and flows, this suite of accounts includes a linked socio-economic profile. This profile comprises socio-economic information for ABS Statistical Area 2 (SA2) geographies for NSW and provides information on the socio-economic structure of the local economy of each SA2 and its major types of economic activity.  The socio-economic profile is intended to help account users identify the economic activities and related land uses in each SA2 which may affect the extent and condition of the SOC stocks shown in the accounts.

This account shows information for soils and land use in New South Wales.

These biodiversity credits are created based on BioBanking Assessment Methodology (BBAM) and all accounts contain data sourced from the BBAM Public Registers.
