# 6.1 Project Boundaries corresponds to [2.5.3](https://methodologies.nature-value.org/readme/6-quantification/spaces/b021HTaWqvtGHZt5ri0G/pages/XJu4VNLduyFDoZafrhoa#id-2.5.3-project-boundaries) NCS The system boundary is the forest edge. The specifically designated forest area is the geographical definition of the project (location and size). The project area is to be defined by maps, coordinates, or other clear descriptions. In case of inaccuracies in the definition of the area, conservative values are to be assumed. Timber uses are calculated as project emissions. Possible product storage or substitution effects of wood utilisation are not attributed to the forest or the forest owner. Eligible are areas that meet the legal requirements for the definition of forest. Furthermore, isolated small areas with a size smaller than 0.5 ha are conservatively excluded from the project area. If an economic connection between such an area and other forest areas can be demonstrated, it can still be considered Bare areas, permanently unstocked and unproductive surfaces are not eligible to be counted as part of the project area --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
