Book Synopsis Above-ground biomass and carbon stocks in a secondary forest in comparison with adjacent primary forest on limestone in Seram, the Moluccas, Indonesia by : Suzanne M. Stas
Download or read book Above-ground biomass and carbon stocks in a secondary forest in comparison with adjacent primary forest on limestone in Seram, the Moluccas, Indonesia written by Suzanne M. Stas and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2014-12-12 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of ecosystem services due to deforestation is of global concern. Financial mechanisms such as REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation) have been proposed as ways to support the conservation of tropical forests. Crucial steps in the implementation of REDD+ are to estimate national-level carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and to collect data on local biomass and carbon stocks. In this research, above-ground biomass (AGB) values and associated carbon stocks in a lowland secondary forest are estimated and compared with those in an adjacent primary forest, both growing on limestone in Seram, the Moluccas, Indonesia.

Book Synopsis Forest Inventory-based Estimation of Carbon Stocks and Flux in California Forests in 1990 by : Jeremy Steven Fried
Download or read book Forest Inventory-based Estimation of Carbon Stocks and Flux in California Forests in 1990 written by Jeremy Steven Fried and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimates of forest carbon stores and flux for California circa 1990 were modeled from forest inventory data in support of California's legislatively mandated greenhouse gas inventory. Reliable estimates of live-tree carbon stores and flux on timberlands outside of national forest could be calculated from periodic inventory data collected in the 1980s and 1990s; however, estimation of circa 1990 flux on national forests and forests other than timberland was problematic owing to a combination of changing inventory protocols and definitions and the lack of remeasurement data on those land categories. We estimate annual carbon flux on the 7.97 million acres of timberlands outside of national forests (which account for 24 percent of California's forest area and 28 percent of its live tree aboveground biomass) at 2.9 terragrams per year.
Book Synopsis Methods for Calculating Forest Ecosystem and Harvested Carbon with Standard Estimates for Forest Types of the United States by :
Download or read book Methods for Calculating Forest Ecosystem and Harvested Carbon with Standard Estimates for Forest Types of the United States written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents techniques for calculating average net annual additions to carbon in forests and in forest products. Forest ecosystem carbon yield tables, representing stand-level merchantable volume and carbon pools as a function of stand age, were developed for 51 forest types within 10 regions of the United States. Separate tables were developed for afforestation and reforestation. Because carbon continues to be sequestered in harvested wood, approaches to calculate carbon sequestered in harvested forest products are included. Although these calculations are simple and inexpensive to use, the uncertainty of results obtained by using representative average values may be high relative to other techniques that use site- or project-specific data. The estimates and methods in this report are consistent with guidelines being updated for the U.S. Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program and with guidelines developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The CD-ROM included with this publication contains a complete set of tables in spreadsheet format.
Book Synopsis Above-Ground Carbon Sequestration by Early-Successional Woody Vegetation by : Fiona Eleanor Carswell
Download or read book Above-Ground Carbon Sequestration by Early-Successional Woody Vegetation written by Fiona Eleanor Carswell and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Zealand's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol offers considerable opportunity for the sale of 'carbon credits' from newly created forests. Given that forests need to have arisen since 1989 to be eligible for carbon credits, shrublands currently represent the biggest potential for Kyoto-compliant carbon (C) gain on conservation land. Little published information currently exists on the potential annual gain of C (sequestration) in shrublands, or whether significant differences occur between different shrubland types. In this study, change in above-ground C stock was measured over an approximate 5-year period and consequent rates of C sequestration were calculated for six exotic seral and six mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium) shrubland plots. Mean C stocks were 73 ± 13 t CO2/ha for exotic shrubland plots and 76 ± 33 t CO2/ha for mānuka plots. Mean sequestration rates were 2.7 ± 1.5 t CO2/ha/y and 2.0 ± 1.0 t CO2/ha/y for exotic and mānuka shrublands respectively. Given the wide range in transition points between shrub and forest stages of succession with respect to C gain estimated in this preliminary study, we recommend more detailed investigation of long-term consequences of C storage during secondary succession. We also note that widely divergent estimates of sequestration rate could be derived depending on the time interval between measurements of stock change. We tested a simplified shrubland measurement methodology and found that predicted C stocks did not differ significantly from those estimated using the standard method.

Book Synopsis Biomass Production by Fast-Growing Trees by : J.S. Pereira
Download or read book Biomass Production by Fast-Growing Trees written by J.S. Pereira and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though most of the biomass of the planet is in forests, we live in a world where wood as a raw material and its products are increasingly scarce. This is particularly so in important areas such as the European Community, which is far from self-sufficient in terms of wood. In recent years the need to intensify forest production and, in some cases, to uti lize abandoned agricultural land for forestry has focussed world-wide attention on the economic importance of fast-growing tree plantations. These are usually managed as short "rotations" (growing cycles) of less than 15 years, often for the production of industrial raw materials or biomass for energy. Under the designation of fast-growing tree plantations, or short rotation silviculture, one may find ecosystems managed for different economic objectives, with different intensities of technical intervention and different levels of productivity. They may include any of a wide range of species grown under various environmental conditions. A common factor, however, is the greater possibility that exists, relative to conventional forestry, for manipulation of both the environment and the genetics of the trees.

Book Synopsis Simulating Forest Growth and Carbon Dynamics of the Lake Abitibi Model Forest in Northeastern Ontario by : Xiaolu Zhou
Download or read book Simulating Forest Growth and Carbon Dynamics of the Lake Abitibi Model Forest in Northeastern Ontario written by Xiaolu Zhou and published by Sault Ste. Marie : Ontario Forest Research Institute. This book was released on 2004 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assessed the temporal and spatial variability in forest growth & carbon storage to provide a comprehensive estimate of the carbon budget for boreal ecosystems in the Lake Abitibi Model Forest in northern Ontario. In the study, stand-level growth & carbon dynamics were simulated using TRIPLEX1.0, a new process-based forest growth & carbon dynamics model. The model was recently calibrated & tested using field measurements collected in Ontario, and was validated using 49 permanent sample plots in the Model Forest. Simulated carbon storage (net primary productivity, forest biomass, and soil carbon) are compared with field data and results from other studies on Canadian boreal forests. Estimates of carbon based on stand variables & analysis of the net carbon balance suggest whether the Model Forest ecosystem was acting as a carbon sink. The results provide information needed by local forest managers to develop ecological & carbon-based indicators and to monitor the sustainability of their forest ecosystems.
Book Synopsis Methods and Equations for Estimating Aboveground Volume, Biomass, and Carbon for Trees in the U.S. Forest Inventory, 2010 by : United States Department of Agriculture
Download or read book Methods and Equations for Estimating Aboveground Volume, Biomass, and Carbon for Trees in the U.S. Forest Inventory, 2010 written by United States Department of Agriculture and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-02 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program uses numerous models and associated coefficients to estimate aboveground volume, biomass, and carbon for live and standing dead trees for most tree species in forests of the United States. The tree attribute models are coupled with FIA's national inventory of sampled trees to produce estimates of tree growing-stock volume, biomass, and carbon, which are available in the Forest Inventory and Analysis database (FIADB; http: //fi atools.fs.fed.us). To address an increasing need for accurate and easy-to-use documentation of relevant tree attribute models, needed individual tree gross volume, sound volume, biomass (including components), and carbon models for species in the United States are compiled and described in this publication with accompanying electronic fi les on a CD-ROM included with the publication. This report describes models currently in use as of 2010. These models are subject to change as the FIADB and associated tree attribute models are improved
Book Synopsis Storage and Flux of Carbon in Live Trees, Snags, and Logs in the Chugach and Tongass National Forests by : Tara M. Barrett
Download or read book Storage and Flux of Carbon in Live Trees, Snags, and Logs in the Chugach and Tongass National Forests written by Tara M. Barrett and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-20 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides carbon storage and flux estimates for the two national forests in Alaska using inventory data from permanent plots established in 1995-2003 and remeasured in 2004-2010. Estimates of change are reported separately for growth, sapling recruitment, harvest, mortality, snag recruitment, salvage, snag falldown, and decay. Although overall aboveground carbon mass in live trees did not change in the Tongass National Forest, the Chugach National Forest showed a 4.5% increase. For the Tongass National Forest, results differed substantially for managed and unmanaged forest: managed lands had higher per-acre rates of sequestration through growth and recruitment, and carbon stores per acre that were higher for decomposing downed wood, and lower for live trees and snags. The species composition of carbon stores is changing on managed lands, with a carbon mass loss for yellow-cedar but increases for red alder and Sitka spruce. On unmanaged lands, the Chugach National forest had carbon mass increases in Sitka spruce and white spruce, and the Tongass National Forest had increases in western red cedar and red alder.
