Description.

This module provides procedures for calibration, validation, and verification of empirical or process-based models used to estimate soil organic carbon stock change and greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes with application of SCM0005 Methodology for Regenerative Land Management. It provides a standardized approach to test model performance as an optional component of GHG emission reduction and removal quantification in a SCM0005 project. Module application results in generation of a Model Validation Report (MVR) which must be assessed by an independent modeling expert (IME) to support independent verification that a model is valid and used appropriately to quantify GHG benefits.
