Methodology for Conversion of Low-productive Forest to High-productive Forest, v1.1
Methodology for Conversion of Low-productive Forest to High-productive Forest, v1.1
IFM-LtHF
This methodology quantifies the GHG emission reductions and removals generated by avoiding re-logging and/or the rehabilitation of previously logged forest. Rehabilitation is achieved by implementing silvicultural techniques to increase forest density, such as cutting climbers and vines, liberation thinning, or enrichment planting.
This methodology is applicable to logged or degraded natural evergreen tropical rainforest.
This methodology was updated to version 1.1 on 24 August 2011. Please see the document history at the end of the methodology for a summary of updates.
Revision Pending As of 30 September 2012, VM0005, v1.1 is no longer valid. Projects that have not completed validation by 30 September can no longer apply v1.1. VM0005, v1.1 must be revised to conform with Section 4.5.3 of AFOLU Requirements v3.2., specifically to address baseline scenario requirements for accounting GHG emissions released from harvested wood products. Revisions may be approved via a streamlined process facilitated by VCS. Check this page regularly for status updates. |
