This project asses the utility and performance of the National Carbon Accounting Toolbox (NCAT), particulary its Full Carbon Accounting Model (FullCAM), for estimating carbon stocks and fluxes throughout the Northern Territory. The NCAT has been developed by the Australian Greenhouse Office as an integral component of the National Carbon Accounting System (NCAS). The report is presaged by caveats because the NCAT has not been fully parameterised for troical savannas in Australia.
