FIRST ORDER DECAY FUNCTION AND DEFAULT HALF-LIFE VALUES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 7
First order decay function starting with i = 1900 and continuing to present year:
(A) | with C(1900) = 0.0 |
(B) | where: i= year C(i)= the carbon stock of the harvested wood products pool in the beginning of year i, Gg C k= decay constant of first-order decay given in units of year-1 (, where HL is half-life of the harvested wood products pool in years.)

ANNEX VII
CALCULATION OF BACKGROUND LEVEL OF NATURAL DISTURBANCES
1. | For the calculation of the background level Member States shall provide information on historic levels of emissions caused by natural disturbances. In doing this, Member States shall:
|
2. | The background level shall be calculated for those activities listed in Article 3(1), where the Member State intends to apply the Natural Disturbances provisions, as the average of the 1990-2009 time series excluding all years where abnormal levels of emissions were recorded, i.e. excluding all statistical outliers. The identification of statistical outliers shall be made following an iterative process described as follows:
