Physical accounting refers to the natural resource and environmental accounting of stocks and changes in stocks in physical (non—monetary) units, for example, weight, area or number. Qualitative measures, expressed in terms of quality classes, types of uses or ecosystem characteristics, may supplement quantitative measures. The combined changes in asset quality and quantity are called volume changes.
