Ecological rigor for better carbon decisions.
Dendro Analytics is an independent technical consulting practice focused on making nature-based carbon models more credible, transparent, and useful for decision-making.
Where ecology meets the carbon model.
We work at the intersection of forest ecology, applied statistics, and carbon-market diligence.
Our focus is the part of a carbon project where biological reality meets a spreadsheet: how trees grow, survive, die, accumulate biomass, respond to climate, and translate into expected credit delivery over time.
For developers, that means building ex-ante models and ecological assumptions that can stand up to investor, buyer, registry, and third-party review. For investors and buyers, it means independently pressure-testing project models to understand where delivery risk actually comes from and which assumptions matter most.
Our approach is grounded in first-principles ecology rather than treating carbon trajectories as purely financial forecasts. We combine empirical data, peer-reviewed literature, uncertainty analysis, spatial and climate information, and transparent modeling to make diligence faster and easier to defend.
Dendro Analytics is led by R. Alex Thompson, PhD, a forest ecologist with formal training in applied statistics and experience evaluating nature-based carbon projects from the investment side. That combination provides a practical view of both how projects are built and how technical claims are challenged during diligence.
