Monitoring Requirements
| Parameter | How to Monitor | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Planted Area | Satellite imagery and landcover classification model. | Annually |
| AGB Sequestration Rate | Monitor default rates provided by IPCC (IPCC 2019 Refinement Table 4.9 & 4.10), verification through regional studies in peer-reviewed literature. | Annually |
| BGB to AGB ratio | Apply default values from the IPCC 2019 Refinement (Table 4.4), for consistency, and use site-specific measurements or species-based ratios (Tier 2 or 3) for greater accuracy when available. | Annually |
| DOM Sequestration Rate | Project-specific or species-specific data from peer-reviewed sources will be used for more accurate and localized estimates if available. | Annually |
| SOC Sequestration Rate | Project-specific or species-specific data from peer-reviewed sources will be used for more accurate and localized estimates if available. | Annually |
| Project Emissions | Default assumption of zero emissions for low-impact activities (Tier 1); monitor and estimate emissions (fuel use, transport logs etc.) for higher-impact activities using IPCC guidelines for Tier 2/3. | Annually |
| Leakage | Analyze nearby areas using satellite imagery and computer vision models; conduct field surveys to detect land-use changes. | Annually |
