The potential impact of the uncertainty on final estimates of net carbon removal or storage duration: negligible, low, medium, high, or very high.
The mass of sunk biomass carbon can be measured directly and converted to CO₂e using a default factor or direct measurements. This quantity can be checked for consistency against operational records around biomass sourcing and transportation. The physical configuration in which biomass is sunk should be recorded to inform estimates of feedstock decomposition.
Edited for cross-pathway consitency during a round of updates and pathway additions. Added a note of the importance of recording the sinking configuration.
