Division 5.1.1 Above ground living biomass

For the calculation of C_AGB the following rule shall apply:

C_AGB = B_AGB  × CF_B

where:

C_AGB

above ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

B_AGB

weight of above ground living biomass (measured as mass of dry matter per hectare);

CF_B

carbon fraction of dry matter in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per mass of dry matter).

For cropland, perennial crops and forest plantations the value for B_AGB shall be the average weight of the above ground living biomass during the production cycle.

For CF_B the value of 0,47 may be used.
