Abstract:
1. A computer-based method of generating standardized environmental attributes, comprising: receiving with a computer system data specific to a first parcel of land and relevant to at least one environmental attribute; retrieving with the computer system data general to the geographic region encompassing the first parcel of land and relevant to the at least one environmental attribute; processing the data specific to the first parcel of land and the data general to the geographic region encompassing the first parcel of land with an environmental attribute model running on the computer system to determine a change in the environmental attribute over a first specified time period; conducting with the computer system an uncertainty analysis on the determined change in the environmental attribute in the first parcel of land over the first specified time period, wherein the uncertainty analysis produces an uncertainty data based at least in part on the data specific to the first parcel of land; and identifying with the computer system a total number of environmental attributes for the first parcel of land comprising a first quantity of standardized environmental attributes and a first quantity of reserve environmental attributes, wherein the first quantity of reserve environmental attributes is a fraction of the total number that is unavailable for trade with the fraction being selected based on the produced uncertainty data; and outputting a report including the first quantity of standardized environmental attributes.
