Viewing your sites

Clicking on your site from your organizations home page or the table view will take you to the report page for that site. The report page is divided into several subpages, starting with site summary statistics. You can switch between pages by clicking the arrows at the top of the page.

The first page gives a summary of the site’s carbon dynamics and control area, if provided. Here you can find the information about the biomass stock within your site at the beginning and the end of the time period, overall net, gains and losses.

Graphs

The second page displays carbon dynamics plots. As of 2023, the standard graphs show annual stock, annual change, the distribution of stock values, forest cover, forest cover change, and an annual loss allocation which differentiates losses due to deforestation, degradation, and other changes.

Each graph has a title in the top left, some options in the top right, and a legend at the bottom. Hovering your cursor over the "i" icon next to the title provides details of what the graph is showing. Clicking on the legend elements switches them on and off. Hovering your cursor the graph will reveal the exact values for each data point. Data shown in the plots is also available to download in tabular form by clicking the download button to the top right of each plot to get a .csv file, or by click the name of your site in the top left, then clicking "downloads".

Exploring the maps

The final page of the site report is the map view. The Chloris platform enables you to explore the location of stock density, change, and forest cover within your site.

You can change the background map (or "basemap") by clicking on the last button in the top-left of the map. By clicking on the legend in the top-right you can turn the data layer on and off. Hovering your mouse over the legend and scrolling allows you to change the opacity of the data layer. For annual datasets, the time slider at the bottom enables you to explore the data for each year of the time period. The "home" button takes you back to your site if you get lost while exploring. You can change layers either by clicking the buttons in the top left of the map or using the "layers" menu in the bottom left. Clicking the play button next to the year slider will animate the map through the years (note that requires a fast internet connection).

If you find a point of interest that you would like to save for later or share with someone else, you can copy the permalink from your browser's URL bar. This will take you back to the same view when you paste it into your browser.

The format of the URL when viewing the map page is .../map/{layer}/{longitude}/{latitude}/{zoom}/{year} where the layer is one of stock, change, or forest, the longitude and latitude are the coordinates of the center of the map, the zoom is the zoom level of the map (between 0 and 20), and the year is the year of the data shown on the map.

Exploring forest cover and change

The Chloris platform also enables you to explore forest cover and change within your site in both charts and maps. Forest cover classifies the land into two categories (forest, and non-forest) based on a dynamic threshold of biomass. Non-forest therefore includes impermanent water.
