CO2, to air, dead organic matter stock change, land use change
Carbon dioxide emissions to air, from dead organic matter change, caused by land use change (e.g., a change from forest land to cropland). Stock changes caused by changes in Site management should be recorded separately by using the term [CO2, to air, dead organic matter stock change, management change](/term/co2ToAirDeadOrganicMatterStockChangeManagementChange). Dead organic matter includes the dead wood carbon pool (carbon in non-living woody biomass not contained in litter carbon pools that are 10 mm in size or greater) and the litter carbon pool (Carbon in non-living vegetation or other non-fossil organic compounds that are between 2-10 mm in size).
