Rationale

This document is an independent assessment developed for Greenwood Management, describing the results of a software growth model for the production of Eucalyptus wood volume and charcoal for the plantation sites located in the Municipalities of Baianopolis, Cristopolis and Catolandia, Bahia, Brazil. Specific data for the sites was provided by Greenwood Management and also collected from

international and national data sources as described in this document and in the References.

Results are given based on data provided by Greenwood Management, assumptions and conditions as mentioned in this document. Scenarios 1 and 2 describe 2 hypothetical model projections per hectare of Eucalyptus plantations, based on resource availability and management practices. Please note that this document describes customized modeled results which, depending also on model parametrization, can under or overestimate the actual site conditions and future plantation productivity.

This is a theoretical assessment of Eucalyptus growth, based on scientific methodology and data available, and can present variations of the actual future Eucalyptus plantation growth. While the utmost care has been taken to ensure the validity of the results, the author can not be held responsible for variations between the current projections and actual future Eucalyptus plantation growth, due to managerial, anthropogenic, or other reasons.

Site conditions Soils

According to the soil maps reviewed (Ref: Embrapa Solos & IBGE), the soils at the areas of north Baianopolis Municipality, south west Cristopolis Municipality and west Catolandia Municipality ~ were the sites are located ~ have medium/prominent clay texture and belong at the class of "LVd4: Latosolo Vermelho Amarelo Distrofico".

Soil fertility in literature (ZANE) as also presented on relevant maps is considered low, but suitable for agroforestry use.

The sites soil fertility for the projection modelling is classified as in similar Eucalypt plantantion sites in Minas Gerais with the same soil class (Latosolo Vermelho Amarelo Distrofico) [Filho et al. 2006; Couto et al. 2004]. The 1:100.000 soil maps of IBGE (See References) were the highest resolution source of information, and thus these were used for the site projections.

Agro-ecological Zoning

The Zoneamento Agroecologlco de Nordestre (ZANE), reports that the Municipalities of interest are classified as "Chapadas Altas" suitable also for agroforestry land use (agroflorestas). Chapadas altas are reported having an alitutde of more than 800 m above sea level, while from local analysis the areas are at somewhat lower location, 750 meters approximately. The sites have a dry period during which a precipitation deficit occurs. The climate is considered semi-humid with a dry period from April to October. The Growing Season Length for the area of Barreiras is approximately 200 days, starting on the beginings of October and ending at the first days of May.

Precipitation deficit during the dry period is the limiting factor for plant growth based on the Miami Model Climatic Net Primary Productivity [Ueth, 1972] simulated for these sites. This is something already taken into management consideration, since, as mentioned before (Data Provided by Greenwood Management) the plantantion sites are irrigated.

Their number is defined as in data provided by Greenwood Management, 1333 per hectare.

Climatic data

The mean monthly data used for the area as input to projections is provided as temeperature/rainfall graphs in this report. Several climatic data sources were reviewed and examined, either from Brazil (CPTEC/INPE, SUDENE, INMET), international (FAOCLlM,GHCN), and several web weather forecast resources (Ref. ClimateCharts). Mean monthly data (temperature and precipitation) and literature data (radiation and evapotranspiration) for the City of Barreiras, BA (~ 12.09, -45.00) were used for the growth projections, and also interpolated mean climatic data for points close to the plantation site locations.

From literature sources, such as the Zoneamento Agroecologico de Nordestre (ZANE) the Cristopolis area receives a mean precipitation of 1067 mm. The closest meteorological station (-20km) to Cristopolis and Baianopolis, Mariquita, receives a mean annual precipitation sum of 970 mm approximately. Again in comparison with literature sources, the meteorological station of Barreiras, although in larger kilometric distance (-45km) and lower altitude than the two sites (450m above sea level, in comparison to approximate of 750m for the site locations) presents more precipitation annual amount similarity with Cristopolis as found on literature (ZANE) - than the closer in distance Mariquita metee station.

Recorded (measured) data from meteorological stations is usually preferred in scientific assessments over estimated/modeled data. For the development of this document, both recorded and estimated data was used, as an input to the growth model.

- The (measured) recorded meteoro.logical data of Barreiras city was used in separate calculations, applying again the same growth~management scenarios.

- Since measured meteorological station data for the specific areas of plantations were not available according to the review made for this assessment, several meteorological data

interpolations methods were tested, and the Thin Plate Spline interpolation method was selected for providing the best predictions of the literature (ex. ZANE) precipitation data.

Assessment results vary depending on the climatic data used in the simulations, but since the climatic data variation is low between the stations (Barreiras) and the interpolated points the MAl results are very slightly influenced (See Growth Projections Chapter). That said, the projection tables and graphs developed based on Barreiras climatic data can be considered representative of all others.

Growth projection notes - Conclusions

The objective of this assessment was to customize theoretical projections as much as possible to local conditions. The results rely also on data, parameters and methodological growth projections from the neighboring region of Minas Gerais (methods which are also widely applied and to other regions of Brazil) for several the Eucalyptus species such as E. camaldulensis x E. urophylla (which is the clonal variety of interest to Greenwood Management), E. urophylla and others.

The widely applied 3-PG Model software [Landsberg et ai, 1997), as also specifically referenced in the References and Acknowledgments Chapters, was used for the growth projection analysis, since it is deployed in numerous scientific and commercial projects for Eucalyptus plantations in Brazil, and globally for other species and biomes. The local parametrization of the modelfor the climate and soil variables used are outlined below and in the other relevant chapters of this report.

Since, as reported by Greenwood Management, detailed local data on plantation growth is not always available for Bahia for the specific Eucalyptus species, the projections were locally adjusted based also on parameters of sites in Minas Gerais with similar climatic, soil and clonal Eucalyptus plantation characteristics [Embrapa Solos, 1973; IBGE: Filho et al. 2006; Couto et al, 2004]. The soil at these sites is also a Latosolo Vermelho Amarelo Distrofico [Filho et al, 2006: Couto et at. 2004] and with mean minimax temperature of 17 to 29 Degrees Celsius, but with higher precipitation annual sum. These growth projections were customized for the plantation sites in Bahia using local and interpolated climatic data. Soil fertility and available soil water were also adjusted according to the site and soil characteristics, based on literature parametrization for the similar ecological conditions reported above.

After adapting parameters, several simulations were run with the 3-PG model, and 2 representative scenarios are described and tabulated results are provided:

- The first scenario (Scenario No1) assumes site treatments to bring soil fertility to the medium level (0.5) which is gradually decreasing after the third year (004), reaching a lower level (0.3) at year 5 and afterwards, to simulate nutrient loss. Available soil water -caliorated as in literature for similar soil types in the area- is assumed to be at its highest level at the time of planting.

- The second scenario (Scenario No 2) represents a different management regime and soil fertility class, assuming that additional actions are taken to further increase site characteristics and available water to plants. Irrigation is assumed to be Sml/Ha/year for the first 6 years. Site fertility rating for the 3-PG model is assumed to be at a higher level (O.S) for the first 5 years, slightly reducing to a lower level (0.7) for the next 2 years, and gradually reducing (0.3) after year 7. This is a rather optimal theoretical growth scenario.

The rotation used in many commercial plantations and experiments in Brazil is between year 6 and 9 for biomass production in agroforestry systems, and also in scientific reports for plantations for energy biomass production the 7nth year is the recommended one for harvest in certain cases. Model simulations present similar results such as the graph intersection of Mean Annual Increment (MAl) and Periodic Annual Increment (PAl). Mean and Periodic Annual Increment (MAl and PAl) in this case are, the mean annual volume growth per stand hectare, and the periodic (annual) change on volume per plantation hectare, respectively.

As mentioned before, assuming a certain site quality scenario, but substituting the Barreiras meteo data with the point interpolated climatic one, has no significant difference to growth projections. However, this simulation was made to further customize the projections and examine any hypothetical variability of such influence.

However, significant differences are obtained when simulating different site fertility and management scenarios (Scenario no! or n02). The first scenario, is based on assumptions discussed above and its results are similar with studies made for neighboring regions in Brazil [Filho et al. 2006; Couto et al. 2004], where fertilization and nitrogen fixing crops are part of the agroforestry system management practices. Significant variation is observed between the response of the growth projections to the 2nd management scenario discussed, with simulated growth to increase substantially given that field conditions and applications (ex. nitrogen fixing plants, fertilization, irrigation, clonal species characteristics, silviculture) can decrease significantly growth limitations to plantation trees.

Local management practices and site conditions, such as increased irrigation, mixed cultivation of

nitrogen fixing plants and/or higher levels of fertilizer input and selected clonal Eucalyptus vaneties (similar to Scenario N02), up to a level where tree growth limiting factors are significantly reduced, can increase the volume production.

Yields higher than 40 cubic meters per ha per year are widely reported in Brazil Eucalyptus plantation literature [BEPP and citations within; Rossi et ai, 2003]. On a recent published scientific study in Bahia, Brazil, an Eucalyptus plantation was established on "Typic Hapludox" soils, and treated for increased fertility and irrigated experimental plot reached an MAl of 90 m3/ha/year, ''which is one of the highest ever reported on forests", not just in Eucalyptus plantations [Reference: Stape et ai, 2007].

Conversion Factor - Wood volume to charcoal MDC

The conversion factor of solid wood volume to charcoal which was used for the projection results is defined by literature of Brazilian eucalyptus forestry, and is provided below:

Solid wood cubic meter/MOe of charcoal: 2,2

Please note that this conversion factor applies not to stacked wood volume, but to solid wood volume - dry wood- (Stacked wood volume to MDC has a conversion factor of 1,47. This conversion factor (2.2) above is for solid wood volume, and the mean annual increment is used to calculate charcoal MOC).

The MOC factors and calculations derived from literature [Alvaro Nogueim de Souza,2007] were developed in Brazil for Eucalyptus species, and in the referenced article the clonal variety in question for this assessment, Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus camaldulensis is mentioned.

In the pages of the "Growth Projection results" paragraph one can observe that the Periodic Annual Increment (solid wood volume) is divided by the MDC factor of 2.2 to calculate Charcoal MDC. The cumulative increment of charcoal MOC provides the amount of charcoal produced until that period, for example "Year 7 of Cumulative Charcoal MOC" provides the amount of charcoal potentially produced until that date.
