Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. The source contains a mandatory, separately reportable land-use disclosure outcome rather than an emission factor, calculation operand, or example. It is not the same canonical construct as land-use-total, which covers total reporting-date land area, nor land-use-change, which covers conversion between land-use types. Because the source requires the field but does not prescribe a unit or calculation method, it is published as a structured disclosure with reporter-specified field-level units and explicit boundary and method disclosures.
Verified sources
Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Method disclosures required
Source-edition basis: Land Sector and Removals Standard, Version 1.1, published 30 June 2026; effective 1 January 2027.
- Identify the reported land use as linked to biogenic products.
- Classify the disclosure under land use, land occupation.
- Report the disclosure separately from the physical GHG inventory.
- Disclose the unit and method used to determine land occupation where applicable, because neither is prescribed in the cited requirement.
Record-specific limitations
- The cited requirement does not prescribe a unit.
- The cited requirement does not specify an aggregation, land-area methodology, spatial boundary, or linkage method.
- This disclosure is separate from the physical GHG inventory and is not a GHG emissions result.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
