Formula
Total manure and compost use equals the sum of reported manure and compost input masses to the stated landscaped-area scope during the reporting period.Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. The source identifies a quantitative input metric measured in metric tonnes for landscaped areas. It is a reportable material-input outcome and is not equivalent to total land use, land-use change, circular material-use rate or land-use intensity. A table preserves manure and compost as potentially distinct material types while allowing a total mass disclosure.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
m_i | Material input mass | Mass of manure or compost input for material type i within the stated landscaped-area scope. | t |
M | Total manure and compost use | Aggregate mass of manure and compost inputs for the stated landscaped-area scope. | t |

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.

- State whether manure and compost are reported separately or as a combined total.
- Describe the landscaped-area or property scope covered by the reported inputs.
- Disclose the measurement or estimation basis used to determine input mass in tonnes.
Record-specific limitations
- The cited source evidence does not specify a denominator, application-rate calculation, value-chain qualifier or further methodological detail.
- Reported tonnes represent material input and do not independently establish nutrient content, environmental benefit or land-management outcome.
- Combining manure and compost into a total can obscure differences in material composition and use.
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.
