2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: No Section Indicated

Comment: If an owner chooses to engage his forest in this method, is there a maximum period of enrollment ? Because, if he agrees to defer harvests for 10 or more years, isn't there a problem for natural regeneration ? If the stand is too thick, the quantity of lignt reaching the floor might not be enough for young seedlings. Can he still do some harvests if the withdrawn volume is less than what he could cut ? How does it work in that scenario ?

Proposed Change: No Proposed Change

NCX response: At this time there is no limit on the period of enrollment and a new baseline would be developed every year to accurately assess the total carbon at risk. However, we do recognize that natural regeneration impacts should be an area of future research.
