Aboveground tree carbon stocks of Lowland evergreen mixed vegetation at Gannoruwa

Proceedings of International Forestry and Environment Symposium, 2012
Conservation of global forests is being considered as one of the sustainable ways of mitigating global warming, because forests are widely perceived to act as major sinks for atmospheric carbon. Estimation of carbon stocks of tropical forests are important for management, planning and for REDD initiatives.Therefore, this study was initiated to estimate

Lidar Aboveground Vegetation Biomass Estimates in Shrublands: Prediction, Uncertainties and Application to Coarser Scales [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2017
Our study objectives were to model the aboveground biomass in a xeric shrub-steppe landscape with airborne light detection and ranging (Lidar) and explore the uncertainty associated with the models we created. We incorporated vegetation vertical structure information obtained from Lidar with ground-measured biomass data, allowing us to scale shrub ...

Determinants of Aboveground Carbon Storage of Woody Vegetation in an Urban–Rural Transect in Shanghai, China

Sustainability, 2023
Carbon storage of urban woody vegetation is crucial for climate change mitigation. Biomass structure and species composition have been shown to be important determinants of carbon storage in woody vegetation. In this study, allometric equations were used to estimate the aboveground carbon storage of urban woody vegetation along an urban–rural transect ...

An evaluation model for aboveground biomass based on hyperspectral data from field and TM8 in Khorchin grassland, China.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Biomass is an important indicator for monitoring vegetation degradation and productivity. This study tests the applicability of Hyperspectral Remote-Sensing in situ measurements for high-precision estimation aboveground biomass (AGB) on regional scales ...

The Impact of Plant Diversity on Carbon Storage Along the Gradient of Altitude in Alpine Grasslands of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Grasses
Plant diversity plays an important role in shaping the carbon cycling of grassland ecosystems. However, differences in the diversity effect on aboveground and belowground carbon storage remains unclear at specific spatiotemporal scales.

Carbon stock in aboveground biomass of vegetation at the High Tatra Mts. twelve years after disturbance

Central European Forestry Journal, 2017
The paper focused on the estimation of aboveground biomass and its carbon stock in the vegetation cover on the territory of the High Tatras twelve years after a large-scale wind disturbance. Besides biomass quantification of main plant groups (i.e. trees

GbLMI1 over-expression improves cotton aboveground vegetative growth

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Leaves are the main organ for photosynthesis and organic synthesis in cotton. Leaf shape has important effects on photosynthetic efficiency and canopy formation, thereby affecting cotton yield. Previous studies have shown that LMI1 (LATE MERISTEM IDENTITY1) is the main gene regulating leaf shape.
