Presentation Transcript

  1. Environmental Plantings This presentation is an overview of Environmental Plantings and the Reforestation Modelling Tool Source: Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary education (DIICCSRTE) June 2013

  2. Environmental Plantings Methodology - Scope • Planted or seeded permanent environmental plantings • Mix of native tree and understorey species or a single tree species if it occurs naturally in area • Potential to reach 20% crown cover & height >2 m in situ • Established on land clear of forest for at least five years • Stock excluded for first 3 years • Removal only of firewood collection for personal use (<10% woody debris per year) • Project does not involve clearing of native scrub or woody weeds

  3. Estimating abatement

  4. Define model point

  5. Read and print the report for the reporting period (Project Estimates worksheet)

  6. Environmental Plantings Methodology – monitoring, record keeping & reporting • Monitoring: • Adjust boundaries • disturbance events • on-ground or remote • Record-keeping & reporting • Project Area- geospatial maps, date stamped CMT reports • Data supporting stratification, prior land use for CEAs • Evidence of zero carbon stock change baseline • Forest management- • Species mix native to area • Evidence trees will reach >2m height and >20% canopy cover in situ • timing of management events & timing and extent of disturbances • Any information required by RMT, and date stamped RMT output files • Fuel use • Abatement estimate

  7. Reforestation Modelling Tool- future releases • Next: • will link to the same SQL database as FUllCAM and climate data updated there (additional 2 years up to and including 2011). • will access the FullCAM API  library. • public release by July 2013.
