46  Competition from adjacent trees
          (1) A narrow or wide linear planting must not be subject to competition from adjacent trees if the competition has a material impact on sequestration in the planting.
          (2) A project proponent must determine whether there is material competition from adjacent trees on a narrow or wide linear planting in accordance with this Division.
 Note:  The presence or absence of adjacent trees may be demonstrated using remotely-sensed imagery dated no earlier than 3 years prior to the planting date for the planting. A proponent is able to re-stratify in accordance with section 18, to define a CEA such that it is not subject to material competition from adjacent trees.

       grouped adjacent trees means a group of adjacent trees where all the stems in the group are less than 20 metres apart.

       individual adjacent tree means an adjacent tree that is more than 20 metres from any other adjacent tree.
