There's a few seeming overlaps now between categories.

  • Is the separation between "managed peatlands" reported under Wetlands, and "burning (e.g. peatlands)" under Other Land Burning clear enough, or should it say "excluding burning" under Wetlands?
  • The descriptions of Forest and Forest Burning and of Grassland and Grassland Burning are the same (but this is not the case for Other and Other Land Burning)
