47  Estimation of biomass
 (1) The biomass of project trees must be estimated using any of the following:
 (a) stratum specific functions;
 (b) regional functions;
 (c) CFI functions;
  that have been developed, updated and validated, as appropriate, in accordance with Subdivision 12 to Subdivision 16.
 (2) If the project proponent applies a CFI function to estimate the biomass in project trees occurring in each plot within the stratum, the function must have been:
 (a) applied in the project in a previous reporting period; and
 (b) reported in an offsets report for which a certificate of entitlement has been issued by the Regulator.
 (3) If the project proponent chooses to account for carbon in the litter and fallen dead wood pools, the biomass within these pools must be assessed for each plot in the stratum in accordance with Subdivision 17.
