  1. Since the values within Table 4 were quantified from input data referring to different periods and production areas and quantified through distinct methodologies and assumptions, they cannot be considered general results about the comparison among deforestation trends within RSPO and NO-RSPO concessions. Moreover, to compute the NO-RSPO mean annual rate we used a larger set of data (see Table 2)
