Data driven approach

The main data source of GHGI for managed forest is the NFI Forecast the development of the NFI, and apply the same methods and definitions of the GHGI

  • 1. Stratification
  • 2. Forest management practices
  • 3. Management intensities in the RF
  • 4. Simulation of development (growth, mortality,

ingrowth, regeneration, other harvest and management)

  • f NFI plots

SLIDE 4
  • 1. Stratification

Stratification is based on:

  • Main species (based on NFI data)
  • Site index (based on NFI data)
  • Cost (Granhus et al. 2011)

Stratification during the simulation We used the stratification of the last NFI of the RP. The stratum assign to a plot does not change during simulation Stratification at the RP Is assessed at each remeasurement using NFI data Cost same for each plot during the simulation and during the RP

  • 1. Stratification

OBJECTIVE: dividing the managed forest into strata with homogenous management activities.

  • 2. Forest management practices
  • Felling forest management practices

are defined according to the most common management practices in the different strata.

  • Regeneration numbers are based on

surveys.

  • Other felling (e.g. unplanned) are

not part of the FMP, but are included as part of the simulation Clearcuts 88% of the biomass is removed (NFI data from the RP) Thinnings32% of the biomass (NFI data from the RP)

  • 3. Management intensities in the RP

Maturity was defined for each SI and species, as 20 years before the maturity according to the NFI definitions of forest development (Figure 1 of FNAP)

Data used from the reference period (2000-2009)

  • Data used to calculate management intensity GHGI 2000 to GHGI 2009
  • Data used for imputation (growth, mortality, ingrowth, and other harvest)
  • GHGI 2002 (2000-2004) until GHGI 2009 (2007-2011)
  • All plots and sub-plots that were not final felled or thinned
  • Why did we not used data before 2000?
  • Site index was not measured before year 2000, but estimated by the field crews

Cost (strata)

SLIDE 33

Cost used to define strata (Granhus et al. 2011)

Felling and delimbing The harvesting costs per cubic meter calculated according to a methodology described by Granhus et al (2011) and Bergseng (2013). The costs connected to the felling and delimbing operations depends largely

  • n stand density, and the operating system in use, which is dependent on

terrain steepness. Harvesting costs per cubic meter for the terrain classes 1-3 were calculated based on the work of Dale et al. (1993), Omnes (1984) and Lileng (2009), respectively, with machine hour costs assumed to be representative as of 2018. Transport to roadside: For each terrain class (operating system) the costs were calculated using the function of Dale and Stamm (1994). Plots with need of sea transport: An additional transportation cost of NOK100 per cubic meter.

The projectionHWP for the simulation period are based on a modification of the existing model used in the NIR GHG reporting for calculation of HWP (production approach, Tier 2) using the reference period 2000-2009.

Roundwood from deforestation was excluded from the estimation of the ratios of semi-finite products
