52  Infill planting
 1.       If infill planting occurs in a CEA, the plantings that comprise infill planting must consist of only those species described in the project's reforestation management plan for infill planting in that area.
 2.       If establishment infill planting occurs in a CEA, the plantings that comprise establishment infill planting:
           1.     must not affect the calibration that can be used for the CEA in accordance with this determination;
           2.     are not taken to be a planting for the purposes of determining the planting date unless:
               1.             they are dominant canopy trees; or
               2.             a high-density mallee calibration is used and the plantings are done to satisfy the requirements to use that calibration.
 1.       If ecological infill planting occurs in a CEA, the plantings that comprise ecological infill planting are not taken to be a planting for the purposes of determining the planting date and must not affect the calibration that can be used for the CEA in accordance with this determination, unless:
         1.      more than 5% of the CEA comprises ecological infill planting; and
         2.      the ecological infill planting includes mallee plantings,
       in which case a mixed-species calibration must be used (except where using that calibration is inconsistent with the FullCAM Guidelines).

       (4)  In this section:

       ecological infill planting means the planting of any trees or shrubs within the bounds of a CEA:
           1.     after the first reporting period; and
           2.     for the purposes of enhancing the biodiversity outcomes of a reforestation project; and
           3.     in circumstances where the planting is not done as part of re-stratification as a result of plantings that have failed to establish.

       establishment infill planting means the planting of any trees or shrubs within the bounds of a CEA:
           1.     before the end of first reporting period; and
           2.     for the purposes of increasing stem density and increasing the forest potential; and
           3.     in circumstances where the planting is not done as part of re-stratification as a result of plantings that have failed to establish.

       infill planting means establishment infill planting or ecological infill planting.
