1 year ago NCX response: We appreciate comments noting that the structure and performance of the baseline model used within this methodology is strongly influential on the predicted and realized climate impact of projects. Our revised methodology increases transparency rather than following an expert review process. This includes both detailed documentation of particular models used, as well as sharing benchmarking and performance information for baseline models. Finally, the revised approach to uncertainty explicitly accounts for imprecision in the baseline model in calculating the final number of credits generated from projects developed under this methodology.

2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: Gti, the biological growth rate
Comment: As defined, the “growth rate is determined from the project area” but the measurement method allows the use of National Forest Inventory data and the creation of a model. However, NFI data may not be available for the project area. Further, no criteria or methods for determining an acceptable model are provided such as criteria for goodness-of-fit or model validation steps employing real data collected from the project area
