# Commission Decision of 10 June 2010 on guidelines for the calculation of land carbon stocks for the purpose of Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC (notified under document C(2010) 3751) (2010/335/EU), Division 5.1.1: Above ground living biomass

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

For the calculation of CAGB the following rule shall apply:
CAGB = BAGB × CFB
where:
CAGB above ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);
BAGB weight of above ground living biomass (measured as mass of dry matter per hectare);
CFB 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 BAGB shall be the average weight of the above ground living biomass during the production cycle.
For CFB the value of 0,47 may be used.
