Scientists from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the University of Oxford and other institutions are working on a protocol for comparison of methods for the measurement and assessment of carbon stocks and carbon stock changes in terrestrial carbon pools. A draft protocol is now available to the public and is open to comments on the web site of Collaboration for Environmental Evidence. The review is assessing methods for carbon stock measurement in the five terrestrial carbon pools as identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): above-ground biomass, below-ground biomass, deadwood, litter and soil.
