66  Allometric report
  The following must be documented in an allometric report for each allometric function applied by a project proponent to project trees in the project:
 (a) a unique identifier for the allometric function, being numeric, alpha‑numeric or a text string;
 (b) the allometric domain for the allometric function defined in accordance with section 61;
 (c) the number of biomass sample trees that were assessed in order to develop the allometric function;
 (d) unique numeric, alpha‑numeric or text string identifiers for each biomass sample tree;
 (e) procedures for collecting predictor measures from the biomass sample trees assessed in order to develop the allometric function;
 (f) predictor measures for all biomass sample trees assessed in order to develop the allometric function;
 (g) wet‑weight for biomass components for all biomass sample trees assessed in order to develop the allometric function;
 (h) sub‑sample wet and dry weights and wet to dry weight ratios;
 (i) estimates of error associated with measuring equipment used to measure wet‑weight and dry‑weight;
 (j) regression plots showing the spread of data points and regression fit;
 (k) charts showing the spread and distribution of weighted residuals;
 (l) the mathematical form for the allometric function including parameter values;
 (m) the outcomes of checks against conditions specified in subsection 64(2);
 (n) details of any process conducted in accordance with subsection 64(3);
 (o) if the process specified in paragraph 64(3)(a) is undertaken, the following information:
 (i) the rationale for redefining the allometric domain including any selection of data sub‑sets;
 (ii) evidence that data points have not been subjectively removed from the dataset in order to reduce variability;
 (p) the variance of weighted residuals, as calculated in accordance with section 65.
