soil associated with the sample, having the value of P worked out using equation 50 closest to and higher than PSupp, in tonnes of oven dry whole soil per hectare.
  PSupp is the percentile P determined in the Supplement.
  PLB is the percentile P associated with the sample used for MLB, as a percentile.
  PUB is the percentile P associated with the sample used for MUB, as a percentile.
Note: The sample used for MLB is the lower bound LB and the sample used for MUB is the upper bound UB.
 The equivalent soil mass:
              -  acts as a cap to the mass of soil for which carbon stocks are calculated (both in the baseline and subsequent sampling rounds). Samples in subsequent rounds should target the equivalent soil mass set in the baseline sampling round.
              -  is intended to be set to the percentile sample weight, as defined in the Supplement, rather than average sample weight, to ensure that the mass is set at a rate that can be expected to be achieved most of the time (everything else being held equal) in subsequent samples. This avoids underestimating carbon stock changes as a result of collecting a mass less than the equivalent soil mass in subsequent sample rounds.
              - may need to be recalculated for each layer (0-30 cm, 0-x cm) if sub-layers are excluded from calculations (for the purposes of equalising soil masses between sampling rounds) as permitted by the supplement.
              -  is defined for each 0-30 cm layer 0-x cm layer within each CEA in a project.
