Comment: Why not take into account the below-ground biomass ? As said in the method, the carbon sequestrated in this pool is likely to increase due to the project activity. Wouldn't it allow to sell more CO2 tonnes ?

Proposed Change: No Proposed Change

NCX response: We are conservatively excluding belowground biomass from our projects for now since the allometric equations for BGB are much more uncertain than for AGB. We support research into this area to better understand BGB since it can be significant pool of carbon.
