50  Calculating carbon stock change in each carbon estimation area at end of the first reporting period
  The carbon stock change at the end of the first reporting period must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation 3

  Where:
 =  change in C mass onsite (in tonnes C) at end of first reporting period.
=   C mass of biomass on-site (in tonnes C) for the ith carbon estimation area in the last month of the reporting period—from Equation 2.
 =  long-term average baseline carbon stock (in tonnes C) for the ith carbon estimation area—from Equation 1.

Note can be zero or less than zero because represents a net carbon stock change relative to the baseline (). Zero and negative values for  are included in the sum in Equation 5.
