Type-B wood sourcing from a sustainably managed secondary-growth forest that grows back from disturbance such as fire, storm damage, deforestation. The grow-back can be either natural or facilitated (planted). The total carbon on land (green line) consists of the active forest (live vegetation, litterfall and soil carbon) plus the stored carbon from the WHS Project (lime green). The net carbon gain of the Project (green line) can be counted relative to regrowth without WHS (Baseline 1, red-dashed line, starting from Harvest #1), or no-regrowth (Baseline 2, red-dashed line, starting from forest regrowth at time = 0).
