Hectares restored
hectares_restored
| Definition and unit | Area of degraded land or coast restored, in hectares per monitored year (ha·yr). |
|---|---|
| Scored unit | ha·yr (input: ha) |
| What the weight represents | Carbon uptake of restored vegetation per hectare per year. Mangrove sites use the mangrove rate. |
| Weight | 8.6 per ha·yr |
| Anchor | Terrestrial: 8.6 tCO2e/ha/yr [derived] IPCC 2019 Table 4.10 (as trees_planted). Mangrove site (ecosystem = mangrove, or a mangrove row in the report): 23.1 (Bernal 2018) with the mangrove survival factor. |
| Calculation | ha × years × rate × SM × ESM (× S for mangrove sites). When the report also counts trees or mangroves, the area row wins and the tree row scores 0. |
| Status | derived (our arithmetic on a cited table). Source: IPCC 2019 Refinement V4 Table 4.10 × 0.47 (2006 GL Table 4.3) × 44/12 |
| Multipliers | SM (area factor): yes. ESM: 1.0 to 1.3, confirmed by a validator. Domain coefficient k: 1.0 (categories not compared). |
| Proof that fits | P2 geotagged photos, site map; P3 landowner or authority letter; P4 area survey or satellite image. |
| SDG (contributes to) | SDG-15 |
| v0.1 value | 2 per ha |
