stratum area, of a stratum, means the area within the stratum boundary, expressed in hectares.
stratum boundary—see subsection 18(4).
stratum commencement means the point in time at which preparation of a stratum for planting begins.
stratum identifier means a unique numeric, alpha numeric, or text string that is used to refer to and identify a stratum.
stratum specific function means an allometric function developed by or for a project proponent from an allometric dataset collected exclusively from within a single stratum, to which the stratum specific function is intended to be applied.
tap root or lignotuber means a thickened, rigid and dense woody mass connected directly to a tree's stem at ground level and extending downwards into the regolith, and with lateral roots extending from it.
target plot size means the area of the land that is intended to be included within the boundaries of a plot or biomass sample plot as determined in accordance with Part 4.
target probable limit of error, for a full inventory or a PSP assessment—see section 29.
test tree means a project tree that has been randomly selected from within a temporary sample plot or a biomass sample plot for biomass measurement as part of the process for validating regional functions or converting stratum specific functions to regional functions.
tree means a perennial plant that has primary supporting structures consisting of secondary xylem.
tree status means one of the following conditions of a tree:
 (a) live;
 (b) dead standing;
 (c) live fire affected;
 (d) dead standing fire affected.
