Slide 7:Land Use Sections

Slide 10:Data/Information management

Slide 11:Gross Volume by Land Use

Slide 12:Calculation of above-ground woody biomass

Slide 13:Above-ground woody biomass by Land Use (tons/ha)

Slide 15:Final notes The NFA methodology can be the basis for the development of a robust forest-carbon accounting system for REDD At the sub-national or project level At the national level Biomass-carbon equivalent equations need to be developed For tree species and species-groups By forest types By forest quality

Slide 16:Final notes Periodic and regular forest assessments need to be in place for tracking forest change in the context of forest carbon stocks determination at project-level, and at sub-national and national levels for identifying areas most susceptible for leakage to occur For identifying areas most susceptible to reduction or loss of carbon stocks
