in the calculations are modified to reflect events that occurred during the reporting period. This recalculation may continue to produce adjustments after the initial period of 15 years. The calculation is done monthly to facilitate reporting more frequently than yearly.
Carbon stock in ith CEA at end of reporting period—remnant plantation CEA or permanent planting (ex-commercial) CEA
 (3) If the ith CEA is a remnant plantation CEA or a permanent planting (ex-commercial) CEA, its carbon dioxide equivalent carbon stock at the end of the reporting period (CP,i) (in tonnes CO2‑e) is calculated using the following equation:
  Equation 16

  where:
 is the net baseline carbon stock for the ith CEA—from equation 6.
n is:
 (a) if fewer than 180 months have been completed since the ith CEA was defined—the number of months completed; and
 (b) otherwise—180.
 is the predicted long-term project scenario carbon stock for the modelling period for the ith CEA—from equation 9.
 is equal to:
 (a) for a 25-year permanence period project—0.75; and
 (b) for a 100-year permanence period project—1.
Note:  Essentially, the effect of this equation is to credit the proponent with 1/15 of the expected increase in the quantity of sequestered carbon in the CEA in each of the first 15 years of the project. This increase is based on carbon stocks at the end of the modelling period for ex-plantation CEAs. In practice, the amounts credited are likely to vary slightly from one reporting period to the next because  and  are re-calculated for each reporting period, and the scenarios used in the calculations are modified to reflect events that occurred during the reporting period. This recalculation may continue to produce adjustments after the initial period of 15 years. The calculation is done on a monthly basis to facilitate reporting more frequently than yearly.
Emissions from biomass burning for ith CEA at end of reporting period
 (4) The emissions from biomass burning for the ith CEA at the end of the reporting period (EP,Fire,i) (in tonnes CO2‑e) is calculated using the following equation:
  Equation 17

  where:
K is the number of months between the modelling start date and the end of the reporting period.
 represents the greenhouse gases methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).
 is the global warming potential for greenhouse gas , as specified in the NGER Regulations as in force from time to time.
 is:
 (a) if the ith CEA is a conversion CEA—zero; and
 (b) otherwise—the mass of greenhouse gas  per unit area (in tonnes per hectare) emitted due to biomass burning in the ith CEA in the kth month since the modelling start date from the project scenario simulation.
 is the area (in hectares) of the ith CEA.
