2  Definitions
  In this Schedule:
0–30 cm layer of soil means the soil layer measured from the soil surface to a soil depth of 30 centimetres.
0–x cm layer of soil means the soil layer measured from the soil surface to a soil depth greater than 30 centimetres referred to as x.
30–x cm layer, of soil, means the soil layer measured from the lower end of the 0-30 cm layer of the soil to the lower end of the 0-x cm layer of the soil.
calibration sample—see section 3(4) of this Schedule.
composite sample—see section 3 of this Schedule.
ESM—see section 13 of this Schedule.
estimation event is a point in time for which carbon stocks are estimated in a CEA in accordance with section 5 of this Schedule.
first estimation event, is the first estimation event for a CEA that occurred in accordance with paragraph 5(2)(a) of this Schedule.
fine earth means soil material having a particle size ≤ 2 mm.
gravel means soil material having a particle size > 2 mm.
last estimation event, for a CEA, is the last estimation event for the CEA in a reporting period which is covered in the offsets report for that reporting period.
layer means a 0-30 cm layer, 30-x cm layer or a 0-x cm layer.
  modelled carbon stock estimate is:
 (a)  a model-only estimate of carbon stocks for a CEA for a time that corresponds, as closely as required by the Supplement, with an estimation event; and
 (b)  in the form of a geospatial file for the CEA (or multiple applicable CEAs) that meets the requirements of the Supplement; and
 (c)  provides at least three geospatially distinct estimates of carbon stocks (in tonnes of soil organic carbon per hectare) within each stratum in the CEA for as many layers (or sublayers) as nominated, or required, under section 10 of this Schedule, and a specification of the oven dry whole soil mass for each carbon stock, to enable validation of the model and estimation of variance in accordance with Division 4 of this Schedule.
  model-validation sample—see section 3 of this Schedule.
sample—see section 3 of this Schedule.
sampling round—see section 7 of this Schedule.
stratum means an area in a carbon estimation area.
sub-layer means a depth of soil within a layer that is less than the layer.
Note:  The 0-30 cm layer and 30-x cm layers of a sample will be sub-layers of the 0-x cm layer of the sample.
SOCCEA—see section 11 of this Schedule.
validated model carbon stock estimate is a modelled carbon stock estimate that meets the validation requirements set out in the Supplement and based on which of the following variables have been calculated:
