Division 5 ABOVE AND BELOW GROUND VEGETATION CARBON STOCK
United Kingdom
Except where a value for CVEG set out in point 8 is used, for the calculation of CVEG the following rule shall apply:
CVEG = CBM + CDOM
where:
CVEG CBM CDOM
above and below ground vegetation carbon stock (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);
above and below ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare), calculated in accordance with point 5.1;
above and below ground carbon stock in dead organic matter (measured as mass of carbon per hectare), calculated in accordance with point 5.2.
For CDOM the value of 0 may be used, except in the case of forest land — excluding forest plantations — having more than 30 % canopy cover.
