The Ministry for the Environment (the Ministry), is seeking proposals for the collection of plot data from the LUCAS pre-1990 planted forest plot network during the winter of 2015.
A forest carbon inventory approach has been developed to estimate carbon stock and stock change in New Zealand’s plantation forest estate in order to meet our reporting requirements under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol. The inventory approach has been designed to meet Good Practice Guidance (IPCC-GPG) for national greenhouse gas inventory reporting.
Pre-1990 planted forests were first inventoried in 2010 and are scheduled for re-measurement in 2015. Re-measurement of forests is required to obtain accurate estimates because the planted forest estate changes through time with the adoption of new forest management practices, species composition changes and improvement in tree genetics. Re-measurement also validates modelled assumptions on growth rate. The LUCAS pre-1990 planted forest inventory involves the collection of ground-based plot data to produce unbiased and accurate estimates of carbon stock change.
The work required for this project includes the collection of ground based plot data from the LUCAS pre-1990 planted forest plot network during the winter of 2015.
