metres.
bulked sample means a sample of litter collected through combining 4 smaller samples into a single sample.
carbon fraction means the proportion, by weight, of dry organic matter that is composed of carbon.
carbon stock means the quantity of carbon, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent, held within project forest biomass.
centroid option means a plot established so that the actual location coordinates are located at the centre of the plot.
CFI function means a stratum‑specific or regional function that was developed in compliance with a CFI methodology determination (whether or not the determination has since ceased to be in force).
CFI Mapping Guidelines means the guidelines known as the Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) Mapping Guidelines, as published from time to time, to be used for mapping project areas and strata within project areas, and available on the Department's website.
closing carbon stock means the quantity of carbon, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent, estimated to be held within the project forest biomass occurring within a stratum at the end of a reporting period.
consistent edge option means a plot established so that:
 (a) the starting edge passes through the actual location coordinates and is aligned perpendicular to the orientation of the edges of a belt planting; and
 (b) if a belt planting has:
 (i) an east‑west orientation—the plot is laid out toward the most westerly end of the belt planting; or
 (ii) an orientation other than east‑west—the plot is laid out toward the most southerly end of the belt planting; and
 (c) the plot extends across the full width of the belt planting.
constant position option means a plot established so that the actual location coordinates are located at the same relative position on the plots, for example, the most southern and eastern corner.
crown means non‑woody, above‑ground tree structures that include twigs, petioles, and leaves, and that are involved in photosynthesis or supporting photosynthetic structures.
crown cover means the amount of land covered by the outer limits of the crown (viewed as a horizontal cross‑section) of a tree, or collection of trees.
crown radius, for a stratum, means:
 (a) if an average expected radius of a fully mature project tree in the stratum can be reliably estimated—that radius; and
 (b) otherwise—2 metres.
dead standing fire affected tree means a dead tree that shows obvious signs of having been affected by fire and that remains in an upright position.
dead standing tree means a dead tree that shows no signs of having been affected by fire and which remains in an upright position.
declaration date for a project, means the date on which the declaration of the project as an eligible offsets project under section 27 of the Act takes
