94  Calculating closing carbon stock for a stratum based on full inventory
 (1) This section applies if:
 (a) a full inventory has been conducted within a stratum no earlier than 6 months before the end of the reporting period; or
 (b) closing carbon stock is to be calculated using Equation 5a in the circumstances described in subsection 56(1).
 (2) The calculation of the closing carbon stock for a reporting period in which a full inventory has been conducted must:
 (a) be carried out in accordance with Equation 5a; and
 (b) incorporate a standard error calculation in accordance with Equation 5b.
 (3) The closing carbon stock for a reporting period in which a full inventory has been conducted within a stratum must be calculated using the following formula:
   Equation 5a

  where:
 =  closing carbon stock for the th stratum for the reporting period, in tonnes of CO2‑e (t CO2‑e).
 =  mean plot carbon stock for plots within the th stratum for the reporting period in tonnes of CO2‑e per hectare (t.ha‑1 CO2‑e), calculated in accordance with Equation 11a.
 =  land area in hectares (ha) occupied by the th stratum at the end of the reporting period.

 (4) When calculating the closing carbon stock within a stratum for a reporting period in which this section applies, the standard error is to be calculated using the following formula:
   Equation 5b

  where:
 =  standard error for closing carbon stock for the th stratum for the reporting period, in tonnes of CO2‑e (t CO2‑e).
 =  standard error for mean plot carbon stock in the th stratum for the reporting period in tonnes per hectare of CO2‑e (t.ha‑1 CO2‑e), calculated in accordance with Equation 11b.
 =  land area in hectares (ha) occupied by the th stratum at the end of the reporting period.
