A reference level approach is used to measure changes in GHGs [greenhouse gases] in the forest land remaining forest land(hereafter, the managed forest) category. This approach measures countries’ progress in reducing forest emissions or increasing forest removals that can be attributed to changes in human activities/practices(e. g., harvesting, fertilization) over time, as the reference level approach allows factoring out of highly variable natural disturbance impacts. 3, record 2, English, - forest%20land%20remaining%20forest%20land

Une approche de «niveau de référence» est utilisée pour mesurer les changements dans les flux de GES [gas à effets de serre] dans la catégorie des terres forestières dont la vocation n'a pas changé (ci-après désignées forêts aménagées). Cette approche mesure le progrès des pays en matière de réduction des émissions des forêts et d'augmentation de leur absorption de GES attribuables à des changements dans les activités/pratiques humaines (p. ex., récolte, fertilisation), car l'utilisation d'un niveau de référence permet de faire abstraction des effets très variables des perturbations naturelles. 1, record 2, French, - terre%20foresti%C3%A8re%20dont%20la%20vocation%20n%27a%20pas%20chang%C3%A9
