On the validity of natural regeneration in determination of land-use baseline.

The article presents the authors' reply to Matthew Brander's response to their paper on the necessity of a land-use baseline in attributional LCA where he raised concerns on the appropriateness of attributable LCA (ALCA) to support decision-making. They point out that postponement of natural regeneration can be attributed to any land use regardless of the length occupation and whether the temporal scope includes the initial land transformation.
