Biodiversity unit

Output format of biodiversity credits under the #SexyTrees protocol

The Interoperable Biodiversity (IBU) unit reliably normalizes Time to one month, Area to one hectare, and Value to Baseline assessments from public data sources.

What remains for methodologies to determine is a reliable assessment of Integrity uplift.

Note, although the below graphic shows a 6-month monitoring period for simplicity, the accepted industry timeline for uplift crediting is a monitoring period of two years.
