Scope and Applicability This PCR covers unprocessed coniferous industrial roundwood assigned to uses other than sawing, veneer, pulp, or panels, including pole, pile, post, fence, pitprop, wood-wool, mushroom-growing, and comparable logs. Intended use and physical log assortment define the category; do not relabel sawlogs, pulpwood, or fuelwood as “other” because they are low grade. The gate is sorted logs at the forest-roadside landing, ready for road transport. Long-distance haulage, preservation, machining, chipping, and finished goods are outside scope. Sources: `unsd-cpc-03119`, `fao-jfsq-definitions`, `fao-wood-harvesting`. ## 2.

FAO's under-bark m³ is mandatory parallel reporting, not the unit of that UUID. Source: `fao-jfsq-definitions`. ## 4. Measurement and Unit Rules | rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `reference_mass` | Target logs at roadside | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | kg as received | Weigh net wood mass; retain bark and moisture state. | | `underbark_volume` | Every merchantable assortment | Solid volume | m³ under bark | Scale logs by declared method; document species/lot bark deduction when only over-bark dimensions exist. | | `mass_volume_bridge` | Reference and co-product lots | Mass and solid volume | kg/m³ | Calculate measured as-received kg divided by matching under-bark m³ for each species/lot/assortment; no universal density. | | `cross_period_normalization` | Stand and harvest burdens | Mass and solid volume | kg and m³ by period | Link establishment, maintenance, thinning, harvest, loss, and asset service to stand and period before allocation. | | rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `provisional_range_evidence_policy` | all Ranges and actual exchanges | compatible property of each actual exchange | native unit of each actual exchange | All reasoned_estimate Ranges are provisional review prompts for this candidate method, not measured distributions, allowable losses, default quantities or emission factors. Never clip, backfill or force actual records to fit them; investigate state, units, boundary, stocks and evidence when exceeded. Before completing a data package, determine actual quantities and uncertainty from traceable measurements or applicable reviewed quantitative sources. Retain missing amounts, factors and flow identities as gaps that block completeness claims; passing a range screen is not evidence. | ## 5. System Boundary ### Boundary Abstraction | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | declared_starting_condition | Identified coniferous stand/block with species, planted/natural source, tenure, management history, and harvest authorization; standing wood is not assumed burden-free. | | starting_condition_role | Managed biological source entering the foreground stand-to-roadside chain. | | product_classification_scope | Target other-use logs only; separately record saw/veneer, pulp/panel, fuelwood, and any other assortments. | | recursive_input_rule | An input of another roundwood category keeps its upstream dataset once; do not recursively add the same stand or harvest burden. | | upstream_dataset_requirement | Use matched datasets for actual purchased inputs and services; disclose proxies. | | disclosure | Stand/lot, region, phase, silviculture, harvest equipment, extraction distance, gate, all outputs, bark/moisture, scaling, mass conversion, and asset attribution. | | rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `boundary_stand_to_roadside` | All nodes | Include attributable stand operations, felling, on-site extraction, bucking, sorting, scaling, and landing handling. Separate biological production, harvest, and grading because their states and handovers differ. Exclude off-site haulage and subsequent treatment/manufacture. | `fao-wood-harvesting`; `fao-jfsq-definitions` | | `boundary_output_classes` | Roadside outputs | Enumerate target logs, other saleable assortments, recovered material, and unrecovered slash separately. Slash left in forest is neither an exported product nor a waste exchange. | `unsd-cpc-03119`; `fao-jfsq-definitions` | | `boundary_period_asset` | Stand and shared roads/landing | Link stand establishment/maintenance, thinning, final harvest, road/landing service, disturbance, and replacement by period. Charge shared service once across its consuming nodes/periods. | `fao-wood-harvesting` | | `boundary_direct_release_coverage` | `managed_stand`; `harvest_extraction`; `roadside_assortment` | Reconcile on-site combustion, actual applications and fugitive releases/leaks at every activated node through unique activity-substance-receiving-medium records in cp_direct_release_managed_stand; cp_direct_release_harvest_extraction; cp_direct_release_roadside_assortment. Upstream production of purchased fuel or chemicals does not replace emissions from their use on site; verify coverage and avoid double counting the same activity inside a supplier service. Evidence must support non-activity; missing data are not zero. This obligation does not expand the existing product gate or downstream-use boundary and does not presume combustion, fertilization, chemicals or equipment occur. | | | `boundary_forest_carbon_land_coverage` | managed stand and purchased stand/wood interfaces | Before claiming a complete stand-to-roadside LCA inventory, select the applicable product-LCA accounting method and period and record one coverage/responsibility decision for land occupation, actual land transformation, above/belowground biomass, deadwood, litter, soil carbon and harvested-carbon transfer. Each relevant item needs compatible measured/modelled evidence, a named upstream coverage owner, or a method-justified exclusion with limitations. IPCC Forest Land identifies pools; its national inventory assumptions are not automatic product-LCA defaults. Do not infer carbon neutrality, gross uptake, net stock change or an uptake credit from reference-log carbon or wet underbark volume alone. Missing relevant land history, pool/time evidence or ownership blocks completeness. | `ipcc-forest-land-2006` | ## 6. Process Inventory Structure Inventory reporting and process measurement layers: card amounts are reported per 1 kg reference flow; original quantities, same-lot process outputs, material states and period attribution remain individually recorded in collection protocols and calculation rules. Assign input burdens directly first and allocate shared burdens under Section 7. Preserve unallocated physical transfer and co-product ledgers, then divide each applicable lot amount by the positive final reference-product quantity of the same boundary and period; burden allocation must not shrink a material balance. Do not count internal transfers again as final outputs. Range blocks retain their explicitly declared original denominators: test process-output ranges locally before comparing any reference-normalized amount. If a Range must be converted, scale both bounds using the measured process-output/final-reference-quantity ratio and reviewed attribution factors applicable only to burdens, retaining original bounds and evidence; never assume this ratio is one. Each energy carrier, fertilizer formulation, material and substance keeps its own unit; unlike units cannot be summed. The final reference output is accepted lot quantity divided by itself; rejects, packaging and non-reference grades are excluded from its denominator. Determine activation from stand, task and lot records; distinguish unused activity from missing data. Energy, fertilizer and other inputs require separate cards for distinct actual flow identities within each process. Retain carrier, formulation and supply specifications and verify each applicable identity before dataset use. Independently required product states, handoffs and destinations remain separate. Measure fuel by mass, electricity by electrical energy and services in their reference unit, retaining documented density for volume conversion; do not apply one quantity range to L, kg, kWh and h. Same-lot output/input handoffs share a compatible material identity, with process gate retained in lot records. A generic platform flow may be used where its scope is compatible and foreground records carry the required qualifiers; absence of species in a flow name or a Mass property alone is not grounds for rejection. ### Process Map | process_id | process_name | inclusion | inclusion_condition | role | quantitative_reference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `managed_stand` | Managed coniferous stand production | `required` | Stand history and management must be declared | Biological production and standing-wood handover | stand/harvest lot | | `harvest_extraction` | Felling, bucking, and extraction | `required` | Harvested source and route must be declared | Harvest from standing source to mixed landing logs | mixed landing volume/mass | | `roadside_assortment` | Roadside grading and handover | `required` | Target and non-target states must be considered | Sorting, measurement, and release | 1 kg target logs and total output set | Conditional cards distinguish material, energy and intended-use roles. Confirm each activation condition, actual formulation/supply specification and measurement basis before instantiating concrete exchanges. ### Process: Managed coniferous stand production (`managed_stand`) Node `managed_stand` must complete the direct-release coverage reconciliation in `cp_direct_release_managed_stand`. Expand each actual substance/medium into an output elementary exchange at this node with a measured or evidence-calculated amount; link existing emission cards to the same event record rather than duplicating them. Distinguish non-occurrence, verified upstream-service coverage and missing evidence; an empty elementary-flow group does not satisfy this requirement. The managed object is the coniferous stand. Management inputs and shared roads are assigned to their real periods. Handover is standing merchantable wood at the harvest block, not a roadside log. Unrecovered biomass is an in-forest loss or stock change, not a product. #### Inputs ##### Product flows ###### Coniferous seedlings for planting (`conifer_seedlings`) Activate only for recorded planting or replanting.

They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services. Use one conditional energy card for this process, without splitting PCR cards by fuel grade or electricity specification. During dataset construction, expand the actual recorded carriers into concrete exchanges with verified UUIDs, supply specifications and units. Do not double count energy already included in contractor services or foreground generation. Confirm identity, grade, state and unit from equipment, supplier and contemporaneous measurements; the product UUID does not establish actual use or upstream-provider compatibility.

Confirm actual AC supply; DC requires a different identity. The database reference is 1 MJ: preserve meter kWh and convert once using 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ when linking reference quantities. Internal generation links to its foreground generator, without an additional purchased-electricity burden. ###### Diesel fuel supplied to equipment (`stand_energy_diesel`) Confirm identity, grade, state and unit from equipment, supplier and contemporaneous measurements; the product UUID does not establish actual use or upstream-provider compatibility.

Distinguish non-occurrence, verified upstream-service coverage and missing evidence; an empty elementary-flow group does not satisfy this requirement. Harvest independently removes wood from the stand, then extracts it to the landing. Collect incidental damaged wood and unrecovered slash in a loss register.

Allocation and Co-product Handling The allocation rules below are methodological choices of this PCR, not LCA allocation requirements prescribed by FAO statistical definitions. The FAO source supports product distinctions and the under-bark volume convention only. Justify the selected physical allocation driver against the actual joint production system and retain the required sensitivity comparison. | rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `allocation_direct_first` | All nodes | Assign directly recorded activities to the actual stand, lot, and assortment first. Enumerate all saleable output classes and roadside handovers; distinguish co-product, retained slash, and removed waste. | `fao-wood-harvesting`; `fao-jfsq-definitions` | | `allocation_shared_volume` | Joint stand and harvest burdens | Allocate residual joint burdens among all saleable log assortments by measured under-bark solid m³ at the same gate and period. Record denominator, bark deduction, zero-output lots, and sensitivity to another defensible physical basis. Do not allocate unrecovered slash as a saleable output. | `fao-jfsq-definitions` | | `allocation_period` | Establishment, maintenance, thinning, final harvest | Link every input, output, disturbance, and replacement event to stand phase and reporting period. Assign stand burdens over the declared production horizon by attributable harvested under-bark volume, counting thinning outputs once. No universal rotation duration is imposed. | `fao-wood-harvesting` | | `allocation_shared_asset` | Shared roads, landing, machinery | Identify every consuming node and service period. Charge construction, maintenance, and operation once by logged use where possible; otherwise use documented harvested-volume share over the service period. | `fao-wood-harvesting` | | `physical_ledger_before_allocation` | Physical ledgers and attributed burdens | Retain unallocated physical values for original material balances, handoffs and co-products: q_B = Q_B/R. Apply this PCR's allocation method separately to shared burdens: b_ref = B_shared * a_ref/R; assign direct burdens directly and apply each period/output share once. R is the selected final reference output, excluding internal transfers. Never apply burden share a_ref to original co-product or transfer quantities; distinguish any allocated single-product process projection from the unallocated whole-package material ledger. | | Concrete cards do not inherit numerical ranges from the former aggregate card. Determine quantities from original records, stock/meter reconciliation and the declared reference flow; no default quantity or numeric screen is supplied without evidence matching the identity, unit, period and boundary. Missing range evidence is a quality disclosure, not zero use or proof of completeness. ## 8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules ### Specific input identification before dataset completion Identify the actual input for this operation from supplier specifications, equipment and primary records. This is a mandatory collection requirement, not an exchange. Before dataset completeness, represent each used material, formulated product, carrier or independently purchased service by one physically specific card with its native quantity/property; confirm a compatible UUID, or retain an explicit unresolved identity and do not claim a fully linked dataset. Do not substitute a conditional example for an unknown actual input, invent a recipe, omit required use or infer zero from missing records. Attribute shared use, reusable assets and inclusive services once; preserve the original stage/period and measured throughput link to final reference output. The former aggregate range is not a component limit or consumption default. | requirement_id | collection_protocol_id | Preserved collection scope | | --- | --- | --- | | `stand_fertilizer_specific_input` | `cp_stand_management` | Operation managed_stand: Activate only for recorded fertilization in the foreground stand. Instantiate one exchange per commercial formulation; retain N/P/K composition, product mass, date and area. Nutrient mass is a parallel calculation, not the fertilizer-product exchange amount. Nursery fertilizer embedded in purchased seedlings is not duplicated. Original quantity method: Collect measured quantity by task, lot and period; attribute to the actual consumer before normalization. Inactive activities are omitted; missing records are not zero. | | `harvest_lubricant_specific_input` | `cp_harvest_energy` | Operation harvest_extraction: Task: Felling, bucking and extraction. Activate only for lubricant consumption recorded separately from fuel. Identify chain oil, hydraulic oil or engine lubricant and formulation; instantiate separate exchanges for different uses/products. Convert measured volume using documented density. Retain leakage, spent-oil collection and receiver records rather than assuming an emission or disposal route. Original quantity method: Collect measured quantity by task, lot and period; attribute to the actual consumer before normalization. Inactive activities are omitted; missing records are not zero. | ### Data Collection Protocols | protocol_id | process_id | flow_role | record_type | raw_fields | collection_method | unit | frequency | temporal_coverage | site_scope | aggregation_rule | quality_evidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `cp_stand_management` | `managed_stand` | management inputs and shared road | stand plan, invoice, activity log | stand; phase; date; species; planted/natural; input/service; quantity; asset ; stock species/form; fertilizer composition; protection active substance/concentration; water source/treatment; supply specification; activation/missing flag; actual task/service boundary ; fuel grade/density; electricity voltage/mix; task operating hours | reconcile plan, invoice, and field log; Raw aggregation operation: assign to period then lot/output; Execute final-reference division once only: for a raw lot total, divide the corresponding physical or attributed amount by the positive final reference-product quantity of the same boundary and period; for a local per-process-output quantity, multiply by the measured process-output/final-reference-quantity ratio and any still-required reviewed burden attribution; if already reported per final reference quantity, retain it without another division.

Keep occupation in area-time, transformation as from/to area events, carbon as kg C on a stated dry basis. Retained slash remains a source-pool/fate record, not automatically an exported product or waste; disclose any relevant later decomposition responsibility. | ha; ha-year; kg dry matter; kg C | inventory and event; period reconciliation | full declared accounting period | represented stand/source | attribute compatible totals once, then normalize to declared reference output | source maps; compatible pool records; original method; allocation and coverage ledger | ### Calculation Rules | rule_id | Applies to | Formula or rule | Inputs | Output | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `calc_mass_volume` | Each assortment lot | `kg_per_m3 = measured_as_received_kg / measured_underbark_m3` for the matching species, moisture, and lot; no universal density. | weighed kg; scaled m³; bark and moisture records | conversion factor and uncertainty | `fao-jfsq-definitions` | | `calc_output_balance` | Landing output set | `mixed_kg = target_kg + non_target_kg + removed_waste_kg + measured_stock_or_loss_change_kg`; reconcile m³ separately on under-bark basis. | harvest, sort, stock tickets | balance and exception log | `fao-jfsq-definitions` | | `calc_normalize` | Final-reference normalization of physical ledgers and environmental burdens | R is positive final accepted as-received other-use log mass (kg) for the same lot, boundary and period; co-products and internal transfers are excluded from that denominator. Report unallocated material, transfer and co-product totals Q as q_phys = Q/R. For environmental burdens B only, complete evidenced direct, period, output and asset attribution once, then report b_ref = B_attributed/R. Do not apply burden shares to physical ledgers or divide already final-reference amounts again. | unallocated physical ledger Q; environmental burdens B; evidenced attribution; matched reference quantity R | amount per 1 kg target logs | `fao-wood-harvesting` | | `calculate_direct_release_ledger` | `managed_stand`; `harvest_extraction`; `roadside_assortment` | For each unique event, substance and medium, obtain raw release E from measurement or the cited applicable method using activity A and a compatible factor EF; use E = A * EF only for a genuinely simple-factor method, after checking units and abatement scope. Do not add different substances/media; retain an unallocated raw-release ledger. Divide attributed burden totals once by matched positive final reference quantity R; do not renormalize final-reference intensities or allocate a shared event twice. Unexplained material residuals are not automatically emissions and missing factors are not zero. | cp_direct_release_managed_stand; cp_direct_release_harvest_extraction; cp_direct_release_roadside_assortment; existing emission cards; supplier coverage; reference quantity | Node/substance/medium-specific raw and attributed amounts and unresolved gaps | | | `calc_forest_carbon_land` | land, pools and upstream ownership | Distinguish gross uptake, releases, harvest carbon transfer and net stock change under the chosen method; never sum stock-change and gain/loss approaches for the same pool/period. Resolve wet volume to dry mass and carbon only with compatible density/moisture/carbon-fraction evidence and correct component scope. A log carbon balance is not a whole-forest pool balance. Attribute land and carbon quantities to the declared period and output once; keep any upstream stand coverage and purchased-wood transfer ownership without double counting. No automatic sequestration credit or fixed forest-neutrality assumption. | `cp_forest_carbon_land` | method-specific land/carbon quantities and explicit completeness gaps | `ipcc-forest-land-2006` | ### Data Quality Requirements | requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `dq_identity` | Output lots | Species, intended use, grade, state, and destination must match the source class and selected reference flow. | sort ticket and buyer specification | | `dq_mass_volume` | All log outputs | Retain calibrated weights, log scaling, bark deduction, moisture sampling, lot-specific kg/m³ bridge, and uncertainty. Volume-only data do not directly instantiate a Mass UUID. | weighbridge, scale, sample sheet | | `dq_completeness` | Full chain | Reconcile stand, harvest, landing, sorted outputs, fuel, stock, slash, and shared infrastructure with no duplicate burden. | signed balance and attribution ledger | | `dq_temporal` | Multi-period stand | Declare phase, thinning/final harvest, reporting periods, and asset service, disturbance, or replacement. | stand and event ledger | ## 9. Validation Rules | rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `validate_reference` | Reference product | Require exactly 1 kg normalized as-received other-use coniferous logs at forest roadside, with the verified Mass flow/property/unit group and separate measured under-bark m³. Reject volume-property assertions for the Mass UUID. | `unsd-cpc-03119`; `fao-jfsq-definitions` | | `validate_category` | Roadside output set | Check species and intended use; reject saw/veneer, pulp/panel, fuelwood, non-coniferous, or treated/fabricated goods as reference product. Account for every other output once. | `unsd-cpc-03119`; `fao-jfsq-definitions` | | `validate_balance` | Harvest and sorting | Reconcile mass and under-bark volume; separately disclose retained biomass, removed waste, unsold stock, and co-products. | `fao-jfsq-definitions` | | `validate_period_asset` | Shared activities | Trace each stand phase and shared road/landing service period into one ledger; reject missing disturbance/replacement treatment or duplicate charges. | `fao-wood-harvesting` | | `validate_identity_coverage` | Conditional exchanges | Final exchanges need actual material/state, direction, type, property/unit, and verified UUID. Semantic collection requirements cannot be published as fabricated fixed identities. | `fao-wood-harvesting` | | `validate_card_activation_units` | All refined cards | Verify activation and actual material/formulation/task/supply specification; missing records are not zero. Each amount and Range uses one compatible property/unit; retain density and wood mass/volume bridges. Check contractor-service components against fuel, equipment and emissions to avoid double burdens. | `fao-wood-harvesting` | | `validate_direct_release_coverage` | `managed_stand`; `harvest_extraction`; `roadside_assortment` | For every activated node, reconcile its activity list against cp_direct_release_managed_stand; cp_direct_release_harvest_extraction; cp_direct_release_roadside_assortment: each relevant event must have quantified concrete elementary exchanges, evidenced upstream-service coverage, or evidenced absence of the activity. Missing/unknown is not zero and blocks data-package completeness. Check each actual substance/medium amount, method/factor units, concrete UUID and existing-card/service coverage for omissions or duplication; empty groups, purchased-electricity upstream emissions or another node's single CO2 card do not replace this node's on-site reconciliation. Shared-asset services must not create duplicate physical release events. | | | `validate_forest_carbon_land_coverage` | stand boundary and source responsibility | Require the selected LCA method/period, pool and land applicability decisions, traceable compatible evidence/exclusions and unique coverage ownership before completeness. Unknown or missing relevant pool/history/time/unit evidence fails the completeness claim; do not interpret missing data as zero or borrow national Tier-1 defaults without justified product-LCA applicability. | `ipcc-forest-land-2006` | ## 10.
