Impact of modelling choices on setting the reference levels for the EU forest carbon sinks: how do different assumptions affect the country-specific forest reference levels?

Table 2 Annual harvest level and net forest carbon sink (excluding HWP) for EU28 in the different scenarios for the reference period 2000–2009, and in the projected FRL during the two compliance periods

Scenario	Roundwood harvest per year [million m³ over bark]			Net forest carbon sink (excluding HWP) [MtCO₂e]
