# 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 7.4: Forest land

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

Guidance
Native forest
(non-degraded)
Represents native or long-term, non-degraded and sustainably managed forest.
Shifting cultivation
Permanent shifting cultivation, where tropical forest or woodland is cleared for planting of annual crops for a short time (e.g. 3-5 years) period and then abandoned to regrowth.
Mature fallow
Represents situations where the forest vegetation recovers to a mature or near mature state prior to being cleared again for cropland use.
Shortened fallow
Represents situations where the forest vegetation recovery is not attained prior to reclearing.
