Scoring Curve
The scoring engine could not generate a curve for this benchmark context. The primary form is Point, but the benchmark data may be missing required fields (e.g., optimal range bounds for an OptimalRange benchmark). This is typically a data quality issue in the benchmark pipeline.

Evidence & Context
"In Ash forests, thinning operations must retain at least 50% of the live pre-thinning basal area."
Minimum structural extent to be maintained during thinning.
This benchmark sets a minimum retention of 50% of live basal area during thinning operations in Ash forests to maintain canopy integrity.
Maintains canopy integrity while allowing for selective timber removal.
