Glossary NSW FOREST AGREEMENTS IMPLEMENTATION REPORT 2007–2008 biodiversity – The variety of life forms (the different plants, animals and microscopic organisms), the genes they contain, and the ecosystems they form. CAR reserve system – The national reserve system, or CAR reserve system, aims to ensure the protection of a range of forest values. The acronym ‘CAR’ defines the goals of the reserve system: comprehensive – full range of forest communities recognised by an agreed national scientific classification at appropriate hierarchical levels; adequate – the maintenance of ecological viability and integrity of populations, species and communities; representative – those sample areas of the forest that are selected for inclusion in reserves should reasonably reflect the biotic diversity of the communities. The establishment of a CAR reserve system is one of a number of arrangements put in place as a result of the joint State-Commonwealth National Forest Policy Statement (NFPS) (Commonwealth, 1992). All Australian governments, as signatories to both the National Strategy for Conservation of Australia’s Biological Diversity (1996) and the NFPS, endorsed the goal of a CAR system of reserves for Australia. The CAR system is activated within the Directions for the National Reserve System — A Partnership Approach (Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council 2005). Priorities for building the DECC reserve system in each biogeographic region of NSW are identified in the New South Wales National Parks Establishment Plan 2008. carbon sequestration – Carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems can be defined as the net removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into long-lived pools of carbon, such that the carbon dioxide originally in the atmosphere effectively can no longer physically or chemically act as atmospheric carbon dioxide. The pools can be living, above-ground biomass (e.g. trees); products with a long, useful life created from biomass (e.g. timber); living biomass in soils (e.g. roots and microorganisms); or deeper subsurface environments such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, un-mineable coal seams, deep saline formations or deep ocean. Comprehensive Regional Assessment (CRA)/ Regional Forest Assessment (RFA) – Assessments made by NSW Government and Australian Government agencies and community stakeholders that looked closely at the impacts of changes to forest use and management on the environment, economy and community. The CRAs and RFAs included assessments of natural, cultural, social and economic values. DECC estate – land acquired, reserved or dedicated under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. ‘DECC estate’ may also refer to land declared as aquatic reserve under the Fisheries Management Act 1994, or marine park under the Marine Parks Act 1997, when managed by DECC. DECC estate was called ‘NPWS estate’ in the RFAs. dedicated reserve – Reserve equivalent to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Protected Area Management Categories I, II, III, IV, as defined by the IUCN Commission for National Parks and Protected Areas (1994). Dedicated reserves include, but are not limited to, parks under the NSW FOREST AGREEMENTS AND INTEGRATED FORESTRY OPERATIONS APPROVALS XVII
