Decision No 529/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on accounting rules on greenhouse gas emissions and removals resulting from activities relating to land use, land-use change and forestry and on information concerning actions relating to those activities
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
This is the original version as it was originally adopted in the EU.
This legislation may since have been updated - see the latest available (revised) version

First order decay function starting with i = 1900 and continuing to present year:
where:
=
year
=
the carbon stock of the harvested wood products pool in the beginning of year i, Gg C
=
decay constant of first-order decay given in units of year-1 ( , where HL is half-life of the harvested wood products pool in years.)
=
the inflow to the harvested wood products pool during year i, Gg C year-1
=
carbon stock change of the harvested wood products pool during year i, Gg C year-1,
Default half-life values (HL):
2 years for paper
25 years for wood panels
35 years for sawn wood.
improving agronomic practices by selecting better crop varieties,
extending crop rotations and avoiding or reducing the use of bare fallow,
improving nutrient management, tillage/residue management and water management,
stimulating agro-forestry practices and potential for land cover/use change.
preventing the conversion of grassland to cropland and the reversion of cropland to native vegetation,
improving grazing land management by including changes to the intensity and timing of grazing,
increasing productivity,
improving nutrient management,
improving fire management,
introducing more appropriate species and in particular deep rooted species.
incentivising sustainable paludicultural practices,
incentivising adapted agricultural practices, such as minimising soil disturbance or extensive practices.
preventing further drainage,
incentivising rewetting and restoration of mires,
preventing bog fires.
afforestation and reforestation,
conservation of carbon in existing forests,
enhancing production in existing forests,
increasing the harvested wood products pool,
enhancing forest management, including through optimised species composition, tending and thinning, and soil conservation.

provide information on the type(s) of natural disturbance included in the estimation;
include total annual emissions estimations for those natural disturbance types for the period 1990-2009, listed by activities referred to in Article 3(1);
demonstrate that time series consistency is guaranteed in all relevant parameters, including minimum area, emission estimation methodologies, coverages of pools and gases.
calculate the arithmetic average value and the standard deviation of the full time series 1990-2009;
exclude from the time series all years where the annual emissions are outside twice the standard deviation around the average;
calculate again the arithmetic average value and the standard deviation of the time series 1990-2009 minus the years excluded in (b);
repeat (b) and (c) until no outliers can be identified.
