This table presents the calculation of Net Total Ecosystem Capital Potential (NTECP) and Net Change and Territorial Ecosystem Capital Degradation (TECD). The starting point is given by table [B]. The balancing item 'Net Ecosystem Accessible Carbon Surplus' (NEACS) is taken as a surrogate measure of the gross ecosystem capital potential of inland, sea and atmosphere ecosystems. In simplified accounts it covers the accessible carbon of terrestrial ecosystems, sea (fisheries) and the atmosphere's capacity to assimilate carbon. Estimation of similar assimilation capacity should be done for the sea. River system potential also needs to be measured in a consistent way and added to the gross total potential. A possible solution is to assess the exergy (accessible.
