Technical report accompanying the Methodology for non-forest woody plants appraisal including calculation of compensatory measures for felled or damaged woody plants NCA CR (version 2021)
Abstract
The publicly available technical report describes the updated methodological procedure in detail. While the updated methodology NCA CR on tree assessment (version 2021) contains mainly the updated valuation procedure, which is only briefly commented so that the text retains clarity, the comprehensive background to the methodology and the innovation of the methodological procedure for 2021 is summarised in the publicly available Technical Report on the Methodology for Valuation of Woody Plants Growing Outside Forests (version 2021), which complements the AOPK CR methodology (version 2021) in this respect.
The Technical Report is intended for more advanced users and for the wider professional public in the fields of nature conservation, spatial planning, ecosystem services, economic instruments and environmental education. It contains information necessary for potential future updates of the methodology.
The text of the technical report is not narrowly limited to the methodology itself, but addresses also broader topics relevant across environmental protection, as well as across various scientific and practitioner disciplines - these topics form the framework for the methodology itself.
