Subdivision 3—In all circumstances other than when compositing of cores is used in equal area strata
13 Application of this Subdivision
This subdivision applies to sampling which:
(a) involves either:
(i) compositing of cores within strata for carbon analysis; or
(ii) analysis of a single core; and
(b) comprises strata which are equal or unequal in area across a CEA; and
(c) is not covered by Subdivision 2.
14 Average soil organic carbon stock for a stratum
Calculate the average soil organic carbon stock for each stratum h (the View image in the official source), in tonnes of soil organic carbon per hectare, using the following equation:
| View image in the official source | equation 15 |
SOCi is the SOCi for each sample i from stratum h, in tonnes of carbon per hectare, given by equation 9 or 10.
n is the number of samples from the stratum h.
