-This indicator represents the **annual rate of CO2 sequestration by forests at the municipal level (t CO<sub>2</sub> ha<sup>-1</sup>  y<sup>-1</sup>  )**. This value is calculated on the basis of the IPCC equations used to estimate the **annual increase in biomass carbon stock due to biomass increment**. This method allows above and below ground estimation of biomass increase in tonnes of carbon per year. The application of a standard constant converts the result into the amount of CO<sub>2</sub> being sequestered. Figure 1**describes in detail the calculation procedure to derive the amount of CO2 </sub> sequestration (t CO2 ha-1</sup>  y-1</sup> ) per local administrative units (LAU2) of the Alpine Space. +This indicator represents the **annual rate of CO2 sequestration by forests at the municipal level (t CO<sub>2</sub> ha<sup>-1</sup>  y<sup>-1</sup>  )**.
