# The lace problem

The single biggest problem with calculating carbon to date can be summed up in "the lace problem". Deforestation sites in the global south more closely resemble tatted lace at their borders than neatly conscribed lines. 

While this methodology is conceptually a restoration methodology, we reccomend the carbon layer extends outside of restoration segments and covers the entire enrolled land plot. 

however the benefits of conscribing a site to only restoration when assessing its carbon is minimal.
