2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: 8.4

Comment: A 90% confidence interval is used, but the use of 90% is never justified. The academic average for forestry is 95%, but other fields have much higher standards.

Proposed Change: Justify the use of 90%

NCX response: Carbon standards often use a 90% confidence interval. Moving forward we will be using a 95% confidence interval. Furthermore, our revised methodology accounts for and requires a deduction associated with the uncertainty of carbon stocks in the project and baseline scenarios.
