14. Agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU)
This methodology quantifies the GHG emission reductions and removals generated by avoiding re-logging and/or the rehabilitation of previously logged forest. Rehabilitation is achieved by implementing silvicultural techniques to increase forest density, such as cutting climbers and vines, liberation thinning, or enrichment planting.
This methodology is applicable to logged or degraded natural evergreen tropical rainforest.

VM0005 Methodology for Conversion of Low-Productive Forest to High-Productive Forest, v1.1 (PDF)
Status: Active from August 24, 2011 to July 22, 2013
Mitigation Outcome Label Eligibility: Not Eligible
Summary of Changes:
- Equation (7) of the wood products section is updated to correct for the error of applying carbon stocks in an equation intended for fractions (%). This makes the equations (8) and (9) redundant and they have been removed.
- Equation (51) for the calculation of VCU’s is updated to correct for the error of applying the buffer withholding percentage to GHG emissions and removals
- Various typographical errors:
- Reference to section 3.4.7 instead of 3.4.6 on page 17,
- Delta symbols in Table 3,
- Other corrections.
