The results of the inventory will produce data about information and include knowing the carbon stock in Indonesia.
“With the global issue of climate change, the TSP-PSP enumeration methodology is developing. Not only the measured aboveground biomass but now the underground is also measured and carbon stock is calculated”, said Purnomo as committee chairman.
