NGER Measurement Determination means the applicable determination made under subsection 10(3) of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007.

       NGER Regulations means the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulations 2008.

       permanent planting means a planting:
           1.     that is not harvested other than:
                1.             for thinning; or
                2.             to remove debris for fire management; or
                3.             in accordance with section 50; and
           1.     that is not a landscape planting.

       planting means:
           1.     as a verb, to put or set in the ground species that are eligible under this determination using:
                1.             tube-stock; or
                2.             direct seeding, including in rows or broadcast;
          for the purposes of growing project trees;
           1.     as a noun, an area of project trees established using direct seeding or tube-stock.

       planting date means, for a CEA, the date on which planting last occurred within the CEA.

       planting geometry means one of the following:
           1.     narrow linear planting;
           2.     wide linear planting;
           3.     block planting.

       planting spacing means the spatial configuration of a planting type and is one of the components that defines a domain group.

       planting type is one of the components that defines a domain group and means one of the following:
           1.     a mallee planting;
           2.     a mixed-species environmental planting.

       plot means a defined area of land within a CEA where on-ground samples are collected or for which imagery is analysed.

       probable limit of error means a measure of precision estimated as half the confidence interval expressed as a percentage of the estimate calculated here in accordance with Equation 4 for a probability of 0.05 of obtaining a value as or more extreme than the estimate for the two-tailed student's t distribution.

       project tree means a tree or shrub that has been established within a CEA through undertaking a reforestation project.

       random planting means a planting not planted in rows.

       reforestation management plan—see section 54.

       reforestation project—see section 7.

       shrub means a perennial plant that:
           1.     has primary supporting structures consisting of secondary xylem; and
           2.     has a growth habit that does or would preclude the stem diameter being measured at breast height (DBH) where DBH is 130cm.

       stem means the ascending axis of a plant and the main structural component of the above-ground portion of trees and shrubs.
Note: Multi-stemmed trees or shrubs are treated as a single plant for estimating stocking density.

       stocking density means the number of live individual trees and shrubs per hectare in a CEA or the number of live individual seedlings and seeds per hectare at establishment.

       stratification means the division of a project area into one or more CEAs and, if required, exclusion areas.

       thinning means the selective removal of trees for ecological purposes, including to maintain species
