COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 519/2010

of 16 June 2010

adopting the programme of the statistical data and of the metadata for population and housing censuses provided for by Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on population and housing censuses (1), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Pursuant to Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 763/2008, the Commission should adopt a programme of the statistical data and of the metadata for the population and housing censuses to be transmitted to the Commission.

(2)

In order to ensure data from the population and housing censuses conducted in the Member States are comparable, and to allow reliable Union-wide overviews to be drawn up, this programme should be the same in all Member States.

(3)

In particular, it is necessary to define hypercubes which are the same in all Member States, the special cell values and flags that the Member States can use in these hypercubes as well as the metadata on the topics.

(4)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1201/2009 of 30 November 2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on population and housing censuses as regards the technical specifications of the topics and of their breakdowns (2) lays down the technical specifications for the census topics and their breakdowns to be applied to the data to be sent to the Commission for the reference year 2011.

(5)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Subject matter

This Regulation establishes the programme of the statistical data and the metadata for the population and housing censuses to be transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat) for the reference year 2011.

Article 2

Definitions

For the purpose of this Regulation, the definitions and specifications in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1201/2009 shall apply. The following definitions shall also apply:

1.

‘total population’ of a well defined geographical area means all persons whose usual residence, as defined in Article 2(d) of Regulation (EC) No 763/2008, is located in that geographical area;

2.

‘hypercube’ means a multidimensional cross tabulation of breakdowns which contains a cell value for the measurement of each category of each breakdown cross-tabulated by each category of any other breakdown used in that hypercube;

3.

‘principal marginal distribution’ means a subset of a given hypercube which results from the cross tabulation of some but not all of the breakdowns of the hypercube;

4.

‘primary cell’ means any cell which is part of at least one principal marginal distribution in a given hypercube. In hypercubes for which no principal marginal distribution is defined all cells are primary cells;

5.

‘secondary cell’ means a hypercube cell that is not a primary cell in a given hypercube;

6.

‘cell value’ means the information transmitted in a hypercube cell. A cell value can be either a ‘numerical cell value’ or a ‘special cell value’;

7.

‘numerical cell value’ means a numerical value that is transmitted in a cell in order to provide the statistical information on the observation for that cell;

8.

‘confidential cell value’ means a numerical cell value which must not be disclosed to protect the statistical confidentiality of the data according to the Member States’ statistical disclosure control;

9.

‘non-confidential cell value’ means a numerical cell value which is not a confidential cell value;

10.

‘unreliable cell value’ means a numerical cell value which is unreliable according to the Member States’ quality control;

11.

‘special cell value’ means a symbol that is transmitted in a hypercube cell instead of a numerical cell value;

12.

‘flag’ means a code that can accompany a particular cell value to describe a specific characteristic of that cell value.

Article 3

Programme of the statistical data

1.   The programme of the statistical data to be transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat) for the reference year 2011 shall consist of the hypercubes listed in Annex I.

2.   Member States shall transmit the special cell value ‘not applicable’ only in the following cases:

(a)

when a cell refers to the category ‘not applicable’ of at least one breakdown; or

(b)

when a cell describes an observation that does not exist in the Member State.

3.   Member States shall replace any confidential cell value by the special cell value ‘not available’.

4.   Member States can replace a non-confidential cell value by the special cell value ‘not available’ only when the cell value is in a secondary cell.

5.   On request of a Member State the Commission (Eurostat) shall not disseminate to the public any unreliable cell value transmitted by that Member State.

Article 4

Metadata on the cell values

1.   Where applicable, Member States shall add the following flags to a hypercube cell:

(a)

‘confidential’;

(b)

‘unreliable’;

(c)

‘revised after first data transmission’;

(d)

‘see information attached’.

2.   Each cell whose confidential cell value has been replaced by the special value ‘not available’ shall be marked with the flag ‘confidential’.

3.   Each cell whose numerical cell value is unreliable shall be marked with the flag ‘unreliable’, regardless of whether the numerical cell value or the special cell value ‘not available’ has been transmitted for that cell.

4.   For each cell accompanied by at least one of the flags ‘unreliable’, ‘revised after first data transmission’ or ‘see information attached’ an explanatory text shall be provided.

Article 5

Metadata on the topics

Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat) with the metadata on the topics as laid out in Annex II.

Article 6

Entry into force

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

ANNEX II

METADATA ON THE TOPICS

Member States shall transmit to the Commission (Eurostat) definitions relating to the census topics.

For each topic, the metadata shall:

—

name the data source(s) used to report the statistical data on the topic;

—

report on the methodology used to estimate data on the topic;

—

report on the reasons for any unreliability of the data on the topic.

In addition, Member States shall provide the metadata outlined below:

Place of usual residence

The metadata shall explain in which way the definition of ‘usual residence’ of Article 2(d) of Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 has been applied, in particular to what extent the legal or registered residence has been reported as a substitute for the usual residence according to the 12 months criterion, as well as a clear definition of the concept adopted for the resident population.

The metadata shall report if third level students whose term-time address is not the one of their family home have been considered to have their usual residence at their family home.

The metadata shall report if the data on the total population include/exclude primary homeless persons (persons living in the streets without shelter) and/or secondary homeless persons (persons moving frequently between temporary accommodation).

The metadata shall report on any other country-specific application of the rules for the ‘special cases’ listed in the technical specifications for the topic ‘Place of usual residence’ in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1201/2009.

Legal marital status/partnerships

The metadata shall report on the relevant legal basis in the Member State concerning opposite-sex and same-sex marriages, the minimum age for marriages, opposite-sex and same-sex registered partnerships, and the possibility to divorce or legally separate.

Economic topics

The metadata shall report on any country-specific application of the rules listed in the technical specifications for the topic ‘Current activity status’ in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1201/2009. The metadata shall report whether the current activity status has been reported on the basis of registers, and, if this is the case, on the relevant definitions used in this register.

The metadata shall report on the national minimum age for economic activity in the country, and the relevant legal basis.

Where the census in the Member State identifies persons doing more than one job, the metadata shall describe the method used to allocate them to their main job (for example, on the basis of time spent on the job, income received).

The metadata shall report on any country-specific application of the rules listed in the technical specifications for the topic ‘Status in employment’ in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1201/2009. Where the census in the Member State identifies person who are both, employer and employee, the metadata shall describe the method used to allocate them to one of the two categories.

Country/place of birth

For censuses for which no or incomplete information is available on the country of birth according to international boundaries existing at the time of the census, the metadata shall inform about the methodology used to allocate persons within the breakdown of the topic ‘Country/place of birth’.

The metadata shall report if the place of usual residence of the mother was substituted for by the place where the birth took place.

Country of citizenship

In countries where a part of the population are persons who are ‘Recognised Non-Citizens’ (that is persons who are neither citizens of any country nor stateless and who have some but not all of the rights and duties associated with citizenship), the metadata shall provide relevant information.

Place of usual residence one year prior to the census

Where the census in the Member State collects information on the topic ‘Previous place of usual residence and date of arrival in the current place’, the metadata shall describe any methodology used to report on the place of usual residence one year prior to the census.

Household and family topics

The metadata shall specify whether the census in the Member State applies the ‘housekeeping’ or the ‘household-dwelling’ concept to identify private households. The metadata shall report on the method used to generate households and families.

The metadata shall report on the way the relationships between household members are identified (e.g. relationship matrix; relation to reference person).

The metadata shall report on the methodology used to report on primary homeless persons.

Occupancy status of conventional dwellings

Where the census in the Member State collects information on ‘Dwellings reserved for seasonal or secondary use’ and ‘Vacant dwellings’ the metadata shall report on the methodology used to report on these categories.

Type of ownership

The metadata shall report on the definition of ‘housing co-operatives’ adopted for census purposes in the Member State, and on the relevant legal basis.

The metadata shall report on any typical cases that have been classified under ‘Dwellings in other types of ownership’.

Useful floor space and/or number of rooms of housing unit, density standard

The metadata shall report on the application of the concept of either ‘useful floor space’, or ‘number of rooms’ as appropriate, and on the definition adopted for the corresponding measurement of the density standard.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 520/2010

of 16 June 2010

amending Regulation (EC) No 831/2002 concerning access to confidential data for scientific purposes as regards the available surveys and statistical data sources

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2009 on European Statistics (1) and in particular Article 23 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 831/2002 (2) establishes, for the purpose of enabling statistical conclusions to be drawn for scientific purposes, the conditions under which access to confidential data transmitted to the Community authority may be granted. It lists the different surveys and data sources to which it applies.

(2)

There is a growing demand from researchers and the scientific community in general to have access for scientific purposes to confidential data from the European Health Interview Survey (EHIS), the Community Statistics on Information Society (CSIS), the Household Budget Survey (HBS) and the Statistical returns in respect of the Carriage of Goods by Road (CGR).

(3)

The EHIS aims at measuring on a harmonised basis and with a high degree of comparability among EU Member States the health status, life style (health determinants) and health care services use of EU citizens. The topics included in the questionnaire both answer to policy driven needs and to scientific purposes. Using individual data sets will allow researchers to carry out studies on specific populations (elderly people for instance), to better assess their health status and how health care systems meet their needs. Results of such research studies could be used to design specific plans for different population groups or to assess European or/and national prevention plans.

(4)

Regulation (EC) No 808/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 concerning Community statistics on information society (3) provides a framework for the provision of harmonised statistical data on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in households and by individuals. Access to individual data sets would largely benefit the research work on the impact of ICT use on the European societies and on digital inclusion. Results can be used to assess existing policies and to define relevant new policies at national and European level, such as the i2010 strategy.

(5)

The HBS includes the classification of expenditure according to characteristics of the household and according to its reference person and the household income. The homogeneity of this source allows micro-simulation tools to be produced in order to test EU-wide hypotheses and help policy makers take informed decisions.

(6)

Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/98 of 25 May 1998 on statistical returns in respect of the carriage of goods by road (4) requires that the reporting countries provide Eurostat with quarterly microdata on vehicles selected for the sample, journeys carried out by these vehicles and goods transported during these journeys between regions. Access by researchers to these data would be beneficial for the analyses of transport policy and for the transport modelling, inter alia for the purposes of EU regional policy, the balancing of different transport modes and the development of trans-European Transport Networks in the EU.

(7)

The European Health Interview Survey (EHIS), the Community Statistics on Information Society (CSIS) – module 2 Individuals, households and information society, the Household Budget Survey (HBS) and the Statistical returns in respect of the Carriage of Goods by Road (CGR) should therefore be added to the enumeration in Regulation (EC) No 831/2002.

(8)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee (ESS Committee),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 831/2002 is amended as follows:

1.

In Article 5, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

‘1.   The Community authority may grant access on its premises to confidential data obtained from the following surveys or statistical data sources:

—

European Community Household Panel,

—

Labour Force Survey,

—

Community Innovation Survey,

—

Continuing Vocational Training Survey,

COMMISSION DECISION

of 10 June 2010

on guidelines for the calculation of land carbon stocks for the purpose of Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC

(notified under document C(2010) 3751)

(2010/335/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (1), and in particular Annex V, part C, point 10 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive 2009/28/EC lays down rules for calculating the greenhouse gas impact of biofuels, bioliquids and their fossil fuel comparators, which take into account emissions from carbon stock changes caused by land use change. Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC (2) includes corresponding rules as far as biofuels are concerned.

(2)

The Commission should draw its guidelines for the calculation of land carbon stocks on the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Those Guidelines were intended for national greenhouse gas inventories and are not expressed in a form that is readily applicable by economic operators. It is therefore appropriate, where IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories lack the necessary information for purposes of biofuel and bioliquid production or where such information is not accessible, to draw on other scientific sources of data.

(3)

For the calculation of the carbon stocks in soil organic matter it is appropriate to take into account climate, soil type, land cover, land management and input. For mineral soils, the IPCC Tier 1 methodology for soil organic carbon is an appropriate method to use for this purpose as it covers the global level. For organic soils, the IPCC methodology addresses in particular carbon loss following soil drainage and does this only through annual losses. As soil drainage normally results in high carbon stock loss that cannot be compensated by the greenhouse gas saving of biofuels or bioliquids and as drainage of peatland soil is prohibited by the sustainability criteria laid down by Directive 2009/28/EC, it suffices to lay down general rules for determining soil organic carbon or carbon losses in organic soils.

(4)

For the calculation of carbon stock in living biomass and dead organic matter a low complexity approach corresponding to IPCC Tier 1 methodology for vegetation should be an appropriate method. In accordance with that methodology it is reasonable to assume that all carbon stock in living biomass and dead organic matter is lost from the land upon conversion. Dead organic matter is usually of low significance in land conversion for the establishment of crops for the production of biofuels and bioliquids, but should be taken into account at least for closed forests.

(5)

In calculating the greenhouse gas impact of land conversion, economic operators should be able to use actual values for the carbon stocks associated with the reference land use and the land use after conversion. They should also be able to use standard values and it is appropriate for these guidelines to provide them. It is not necessary, however, to provide standard values for improbable combinations of climate and soil type.

(6)

Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC sets out the method for calculating greenhouse gas impacts and contains rules for the calculation of annualised emissions of carbon stock changes from land use changes. The guidelines annexed to this Decision establish rules for the calculation of land carbon stocks, completing the rules laid down in the Annex V,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The guidelines for the calculation of land carbon stocks for the purpose of Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC are set out in the Annex to this Decision.

1.   INTRODUCTION

These guidelines establish the rules for the calculation of land carbon stocks, both for the reference land use (CSR , as defined in point 7 of Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC) and the actual land use (CSA , as defined in point 7 of Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC).

In point 2 rules are provided in order that land carbon stocks are consistently determined. Point 3 provides the general rule for the calculation of carbon stocks, which consist of two components: soil organic carbon and carbon stock in the above and below ground vegetation.

Point 4 provides detailed rules for determining the soil organic carbon stock. For mineral soils it provides the option of following a method that allows the use of values provided for in the guidelines, while the option of using alternative methods is also provided for. For organic soils methods are described, but the guidelines do not contain values for determining soil organic carbon stock in organic soils.

Point 5 provides detailed rules for carbon stock in vegetation, but is only relevant in the case the choice is made not to use values for above and below ground vegetation carbon stock provided in point 8 of the guidelines (the use of the values provided in point 8 is not obligatory and for certain cases it may not contain the appropriate values).

Point 6 provides the rules to select the appropriate values in case the choice is made to use the guidelines’ values related to soil organic carbon in mineral soils (these values are provided in points 6 and 7). In these rules reference is made to data layers on climate regions and soil type available through the online Transparency platform established by Directive 2009/28/EC. Those data layers are detailed layers underlying figures 1 and 2 below.

Point 8 provides values for carbon stock in the above and below ground vegetation and related parameters. Points 7 and 8 provide values for four different land use categories: cropland, perennial crops, grassland and forest land.

2.   CONSISTENT REPRESENTATION OF LAND CARBON STOCKS

For determining the carbon stock per unit area associated with CSR and CSA the following rules shall apply:

(1)

the area for which the land carbon stocks are calculated shall for the entire area have similar:

(a)

biophysical conditions in terms of climate and soil type;

(b)

management history in terms of tillage;

(c)

input history in terms of carbon input to soil.

(2)

the carbon stock of the actual land use, CSA , shall be taken as:

—

in the case of loss of carbon stock: the estimated equilibrium carbon stock that the land will reach in its new use,

—

in the case of carbon stock accumulation: the estimated carbon stock after 20 years or when the crop reaches maturity, whichever the earlier.

3.   CALCULATION OF CARBON STOCKS

For the calculation of CSR and CSA the following rule shall apply:

CSi = (SOC + CVEG ) × A

where:

CSI= the carbon stock per unit area associated with the land use i (measured as mass of carbon per unit area, including both soil and vegetation);

SOC= soil organic carbon (measured as mass of carbon per hectare), calculated in accordance with point 4;

CVEG= above and below ground vegetation carbon stock (measured as mass of carbon per hectare), calculated in accordance with point 5 or selected from the appropriate values in point 8;

A= factor scaling to the area concerned (measured as hectares per unit area).

4.   SOIL ORGANIC CARBON STOCK

4.1.   Mineral soils

For the calculation of SOC the following rule may be used:

SOC = SOCST  × FLU  × FMG  × FI

where:

SOC= soil organic carbon (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

SOCST= standard soil organic carbon in the 0-30 centimetre topsoil layer (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

FLU= land use factor reflecting the difference in soil organic carbon associated with the type of land use compared to the standard soil organic carbon;

FMG= management factor reflecting the difference in soil organic carbon associated with the principle management practice compared to the standard soil organic carbon;

FI= input factor reflecting the difference in soil organic carbon associated with different levels of carbon input to soil compared to the standard soil organic carbon.

For SOCST the appropriate values presented in point 6 shall apply.

For FLU , FMG and FI the appropriate values presented in point 7 shall apply.

As an alternative to using the above rule, other appropriate methods, including measurements, may be used to determine SOC. As far as such methods are not based on measurements, they shall take into account climate, soil type, land cover, land management and inputs.

4.2.   Organic soils (histosols)

For determining SOC, appropriate methods shall be used. Such methods shall take into account the entire depth of the organic soil layer as well as climate, land cover and land management and input. Such methods may include measurements.

Where carbon stock affected by soil drainage is concerned, losses of carbon following drainage shall be taken into account by appropriate methods. Such methods may be based on annual losses of carbon following drainage.

5.   ABOVE AND BELOW GROUND VEGETATION CARBON STOCK

Except where a value for CVEG set out in point 8 is used, for the calculation of CVEG the following rule shall apply:

CVEG = CBM  + CDOM

where:

CVEG= above and below ground vegetation carbon stock (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

CBM= above and below ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare), calculated in accordance with point 5.1;

CDOM= above and below ground carbon stock in dead organic matter (measured as mass of carbon per hectare), calculated in accordance with point 5.2.

For CDOM the value of 0 may be used, except in the case of forest land — excluding forest plantations — having more than 30 % canopy cover.

5.1.   Living biomass

For the calculation of CBM the following rule shall apply:

CBM = CAGB  + CBGB

where:

CBM= above and below ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

CAGB= above ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare), calculated in accordance with point 5.1.1;

CBGB= below ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare), calculated in accordance with point 5.1.2.

5.1.1.   Above ground living biomass

For the calculation of CAGB the following rule shall apply:

CAGB = BAGB  × CFB

where:

CAGB= above ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

BAGB= weight of above ground living biomass (measured as mass of dry matter per hectare);

CFB= carbon fraction of dry matter in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per mass of dry matter).

For cropland, perennial crops and forest plantations the value for BAGB shall be the average weight of the above ground living biomass during the production cycle.

For CFB the value of 0,47 may be used.

5.1.2.   Below ground living biomass

For the calculation of CBGB one of the following two rules shall be used:

(1)

CBGB = BBGB  × CFB

where:

CBGB= below ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

BBGB= weight of below ground living biomass (measured as mass of dry matter per hectare);

CFB= carbon fraction of dry matter in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per mass of dry matter).

For cropland, perennial crops and forest plantations the value for BBGB shall be the average weight of the below ground living biomass during the production cycle.

For CFB the value of 0,47 may be used.

(2)

CBGB = CAGB  × R

where:

CBGB= below ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

CAGB= above ground carbon stock in living biomass (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

R= ratio of below ground carbon stock in living biomass to above ground carbon stock in living biomass.

Appropriate values for R set out in point 8 may be used.

5.2.   Dead organic matter

For the calculation of CDOM the following rule shall apply:

CDOM = CDW  + CLI

where:

CDOM= above and below ground carbon stock in dead organic matter (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

CDW= carbon stock in dead wood pool (measured as mass of carbon per hectare), calculated in accordance with point 5.2.1;

CLI= carbon stock in litter (measured as mass of carbon per hectare), calculated in accordance with point 5.2.2.

5.2.1.   Carbon stock in dead wood pool

For the calculation of CDW the following rule shall apply:

CDW = DOMDW  × CFDW

where:

CDW= carbon stock in dead wood pool (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

DOMDW= weight of dead wood pool (measured as mass of dry matter per hectare);

CFDW= carbon fraction of dry matter in dead wood pool (measured as mass of carbon per mass of dry matter).

For CFDW the value of 0,5 may be used.

5.2.2.   Carbon stock in litter

For the calculation of CLI the following rule shall apply:

CLI = DOMLI  × CFLI

where:

CLI= carbon stock in litter (measured as mass of carbon per hectare);

DOMLI= weight of litter (measured as mass of dry matter per hectare);

CFLI= carbon fraction of dry matter in litter (measured as mass of carbon per mass of dry matter).

For CFLI the value of 0,4 may be used.

6.   STANDARD SOIL CARBON STOCK IN MINERAL SOILS

A value for SOCST shall be selected from table 1, based on the appropriate climate region and soil type of the area concerned as set out in points 6.1 and 6.2.

Table 3 provides guidance for selecting appropriate values from Tables 2 and 4.

Table 3

Guidance on management and input for cropland and perennial crops

Management/Input

Guidance

Full-tillage

Substantial soil disturbance with full inversion and/or frequent (within year) tillage operations. At planting time, little (e.g. < 30 %) of the surface is covered by residues.

Reduced tillage

Primary and/or secondary tillage but with reduced soil disturbance (usually shallow and without full soil inversion) and normally leaves surface with > 30 % coverage by residues at planting.

No till

Direct seeding without primary tillage, with only minimal soil disturbance in the seeding zone. Herbicides are typically used for weed control.

Low

Low residue return occurs when there is due to removal of residues (via collection or burning), frequent bare-fallowing, production of crops yielding low residues (e.g. vegetables, tobacco, cotton), no mineral fertilisation or nitrogen-fixing crops.

Medium

Representative for annual cropping with cereals where all crop residues are returned to the field. If residues are removed then supplemental organic matter (e.g. manure) is added. Also requires mineral fertilisation or nitrogen-fixing crop in rotation.

High with manure

Represents significantly higher carbon input over medium carbon input cropping systems due to an additional practice of regular addition of animal manure.

High without manure

Represents significantly greater crop residue inputs over medium carbon input cropping systems due to additional practices, such as production of high residue yielding crops, use of green manures, cover crops, improved vegetated fallows, irrigation, frequent use of perennial grasses in annual crop rotations, but without manure applied (see row above).

Table 6 provides guidance for selecting appropriate values from Table 5.

Table 6

Guidance on management and input for grassland

Management/Input

Guidance

Improved

Represents grassland which is sustainably managed with moderate grazing pressure and that receive at least one improvement (e.g. fertilisation, species improvement, irrigation).

Nominally managed

Represents non-degraded and sustainably managed grassland, but without significant management improvements.

Moderately degraded

Represents overgrazed or moderately degraded grassland, with somewhat reduced productivity (relative to the native or nominally managed grassland) and receiving no management inputs.

Severely degraded

Implies major long-term loss of productivity and vegetation cover, due to severe mechanical damage to the vegetation and/or severe soil erosion.

Medium

Applies where no additional management inputs have been used.

High

Applies to improved grassland where one or more additional management inputs/improvements have been used (beyond that is required to be classified as improved grassland).

Native forest

(non-degraded)

Represents native or long-term, non-degraded and sustainably managed forest.

Shifting cultivation

Permanent shifting cultivation, where tropical forest or woodland is cleared for planting of annual crops for a short time (e.g. 3-5 years) period and then abandoned to regrowth.

Mature fallow

Represents situations where the forest vegetation recovers to a mature or near mature state prior to being cleared again for cropland use.

Shortened fallow

Represents situations where the forest vegetation recovery is not attained prior to reclearing.
