DBC and Inverto partner to provide best-in-class DMRV technology for enhanced accuracy and transparency

Geospatial Monitoring (UAV, LiDAR, Multispectral Imaging)

• Replaces traditional plot-based sampling with wall-to-wall coverage, eliminating gaps from inaccessible areas.
• Enables high-resolution biomass mapping and detection of small-scale disturbances.
• Multi-temporal analysis tracks growth trends and stress responses (e.g., drought, salinity changes).

Spatial Regression Models (allometric models) for Biomass Prediction

• Integrates field measurements with remote sensing data to calibrate and validate AGB estimates.
• Reduces reliance on generalized allometric equations by linking spectral signatures to actual biomass.

Soil Carbon Monitoring Program (2026 Onward)

• Paired-plot sampling (restored vs. natural mangroves) to isolate project-induced SOC changes.
• Seasonal core sampling captures dynamic carbon fluxes influenced by tides and freshwater inputs.
• Will replace default IPCC values with delta-specific SOC accumulation rates.

Disturbance & Resilience Tracking

• Satellite-based NDVI/EVI trends (1992–2022) confirm no flood/cyclone-induced dieback.
• Post-cyclone field assessments (e.g., Cyclone Biparjoy 2023) validate mangrove resilience.
