| Notes: (1) Reporting in this Table is required by Member States, who apply the provision to exclude emissions from natural disturbances in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2018/841. Member States are encouraged to provide this information on an annual basis, as relevant. (2) Geographic location refers to the boundaries of the areas that encompass the lands subject to natural disturbances on Afforested Land and Managed Forest Land, separately. Information shall, as appropriate, be provided in the documentation box. Consideration of the need for geographically explicit data shall be made, in accordance with Part 3 of Annex V of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. (3) Year when the natural disturbance took place. (4) The Member State shall report here emissions from natural disturbances. The values reported here should, as a minimum, be consistent with international reporting requirements, e.g. under the Paris Agreement. Regardless of the method used to estimate carbon stock changes, the Member State shall, as appropriate, provide information in the NIR on how CO2 emissions from natural disturbances were singled out. (5) Emissions from salvage logging in the inventory year (information on how emissions from salvage logging have been estimated should be provided in the NIR). (6) Emissions reported here shall not include salvage logging emissions. (7) Information on the calculation of the background level and the margin should be provided in the NIR, including any recalculations made to the background level and the margin to maintain methodological consistency with the reported emissions. (8) If emissions from natural disturbances exceed the background level plus the margin, if a margin is needed, this cell should report "yes". (9) Emissions that can be excluded from the accounting in the inventory year equal "emissions from natural disturbances" minus the "background level". (10) Member States shall document in the document box below, and in the NIR, how the subsequent removals to be excluded from accounting are calculated. Member States shall also document that the methodology used is consistent with that used for the background level and margin, if applied. Member States shall indicate in the documentation box where this information can be found in the NIR. (11) Disturbances shall be listed by year and type of disturbance (in this order, total estimate of the effect of the disturbances per year). Multiple natural disturbances events of the same type, such as fires due to a severe drought period, can be grouped provided that all relevant information is provided in the NIR or annexes to the NIR. Also in the case that an area is subject to multiple types of disturbances, additional information on how double-counting of emissions and removals is avoided should be provided in the NIR. Also in the case that the area is subject to disturbances in multiple years, additional information on how double counting of emissions and removals from these areas is avoided should be provided in the NIR. (12) Member States shall report emissions from natural disturbances that occurred in the inventory year. Member States may also report delayed emissions from natural disturbances that have occurred in previous years, if consistent with the methodology used in the calculation of the background level. | Notes: (1) Reporting in this Table is required by Member States, who apply the provision to exclude emissions from natural disturbances in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2018/841.
