Conceptual illustration of “biomass available for wood supply” (BAWS) and harvest volumes (H) during the historical reference period (RP), and possible evolution during the future compliance period (CP). The historical BAWS and H are used to calculate the harvest fraction (HF) during the RP, for each stratum and management practice. This HF is then multiplied by the estimated future evolution of BAWS in the CP, to obtain the future harvest in the CP expected with the continuation of historical forest management practice. Note that, if the forest is getting older, the BAWSCP will typically increase relative to the RP and, as a consequence, HCP will also increase. See text for details
