5  Definitions
Note: A number of expressions used in this determination are defined in section 5 of the Act, including the following:
(a) certificate of entitlement;
(b) eligible offsets project;
(c) permanence period;
(d) project area.
  In this determination:

       above-ground biomass means all live material in a tree or shrub above the soil substrate and includes the stem and crown.
Act means the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011.

       actual plot location means spatial coordinates, collected in the field using a geographic positioning system, which define the locations of plots.

       adjacent tree means a non-project tree that:
           1.     has a stem in an adjoining area; and
           2.     has a crown that extends 3 metres or more across at its widest point, at the time of FullCAM modelling.

       adjoining area means the area that extends outwards for 20 metres perpendicular to the long axis of each side of a narrow or wide linear planting as measured from the outer stems of the planting.

       below-ground biomass means all live material in a tree or shrub below the soil substrate and includes the tap root or lignotuber, and the lateral roots.

       belt planting means a planting that:
           1.     is established in a belt configuration;
           2.     can follow landscape contours or be arranged in a straight line; and
           3.     is either a narrow or wide linear planting.

       block planting—see section 23.

       calibration means a calibration used in FullCAM.

       carbon estimation area or CEA means an area of land that is within a project area and that meets the requirements in section 13.

       carbon pool means a reservoir which has the capacity to accumulate or release carbon, and includes any above-ground biomass, below-ground biomass and debris.

       carbon stock of an area of land, at a specified time, means the quantity of carbon held within the area at that time as:
           1.     above-ground biomass;
           2.     below-ground biomass; and
           3.     debris.

       carbon stock change means the change in the quantity of carbon stock over a specified time, expressed in units of mass.

       CFI Mapping Guidelines means the guidelines of that name, as published on the Department's website and as in force from time to time.

       CFI methodology determination means a legislative instrument made under section 106 of the Act or as varied under section 114 of the Act.

       CO2-e means carbon dioxide equivalent.

       crown cover means the area of land circumscribed by the outer limits of the crown (viewed as a horizontal cross-section) of a tree, or collection of trees.

       debris means above-ground and below-ground dead plant material.

       declaration date means the date on which the declaration of a project as an eligible offsets project under section 27 of the Act takes effect.
Note: The declaration
