Ms Lilian O'Sullivan:

I do not know off the top of my head. Teagasc would have completed that LiDAR survey work that was done with Devenish. In the work that I am involved in now, the Deputy is right that one needs to know exactly what area is being captured. At the sites, we would have five zones marked out in 6 m lengths. They have been captured remotely, so it captures everything. One can fly a drone immediately over it and it captures exactly what is in that zone. For us to be able to translate that to a carbon measurement, it captures the volume using the remote technology. We are now translating that biomass to a carbon stock by dry-weighing it, grinding it down and sampling it in the different pools used in the inventories for the accounting. There is our above-ground biomass or living biomass above and below ground, the soil underneath and the root system.
