MASCAREF – Overview (short)
Study under EEC 2152/2003 Forest Focus regulation on
developing harmonized methods for assessing carbon
sequestration in European forests(MASCAREF)
Project supported by EC/JRC, Contract No. 382980
Study under EEC 2152/2003Forest Focus regulation on
developing harmonized Methods for ASsessing CARbon
sequestration in European Forests(MASCAREF)
MASCAREF – Overview (short)
The project aims
• Strengthening and harmonizing the existing national systems to better meet the requirements of international monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions and sinks
• Improving the comparability, transparency and accuracy of the GHG inventory reports of the LULUCF sector of Member States

MASCAREF – Overview (short)
Task 3 products
• Mid-term reports– Use of NFI data for the UNFCCC/KP reporting
of emissions and removals of greenhouse gases (Colin, Petersson, Ståhl)
– Use of BFs and BEFs in European NFIs (Freudenschuss, Weiss)
MASCAREF – Overview (short)
Task 4 example: factors from IPCC(2003) vs. IPCC(2006)
• Large differences in BEFs for temperate region, good match for boreal region

Task 5 example: analysis in the Netherlands
1 x 1 km raster over NLrandom drawing per cell (forest; non-forest)→ stratified random (0 to 100 sampling points in forest per 10 x 10 km grid)number of sampling points is measure for forest cover1) aggregation by simple averaging (all points)2) averaging forest plots * representative area3) averaging forest plots * forest cover (EFI map)4) kriging (to do)
MASCAREF – Overview (short)
Task 6: test regions (countries)
• Italy – NFI aggregation
• Greece – soil networks
• Lithuania – NFI aggregation
• Slovakia – exp./conv. factors
• Romania – NFI implementation
