Do I use the clearing module in BioMetric, the thinning module in BioMetric, or the Invasive Native Scrub Tool?

The assessor must decide whether the species to be cleared meet the definition of “invasive native scrub” (as per the Invasive Native Scrub Tool Operational Manual) or, whether the proposal meets the criteria of thinning within benchmark (as outlined in the BioMetric Operational Manual). Note, some species in some CMAs can be managed using either system. If neither criteria are met, then the proposal is defined as thinning below benchmark, or clearing, and is assessed as a clearing proposal by BioMetric and the NVAT other tools. Note that the thinning module in BioMetric currently allows thinning down to a benchmark number of stems in specified size classes. Stem density benchmarks must generally be collected using appropriate reference plots.
