  • Interpreting Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Scanning Data to Assess Above and Below Ground Carbon (AGC/BGC) for Hedgerows and Trees and Run-off Risk Mapping on Farms in GB.<br/>AHDB is undertaking environmental baselining work on a group of farms expected to be in the range 120 - 200 farms across GB where it aims to establish a net carbon balance, taking account of GHG emissions and carbon stocks and sequestration, and capture a range of metrics of relevance to evaluating natural capital and monitoring the environmental impact of behaviour change. For this tender, AHDB are seeking a partner to assess above and below ground biomass (AGB/BGB) associated with woody biomass on the farms in this project and from that estimate the associated above and below ground carbon stocks. Most farms will be mixed farms with two or more enterprise types. Uncropped land such as woodland will also be included. AHDB intends to procure LIDAR scanning services to inform this assessment of 120-200 farms. It is expected that the successful tenderer will use these LIDAR datasets, accompanying aerial imagery and published allometric models for hedgerows, trees and woodland to derive above ground carbon stocks on farm along with other outputs of relevance to farmers and the baselining work.<br/>The Procurement Documents have been made directly available by AHDB by electronic means at https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome. Additional information: The stated value of the contract is based on the evaluation parameters as described in the Tender. However, dependent of land coverage and associated reporting, actual cost range may vary, but not exceed £200kValue not stated
